[Studies on the effect-increasing components for molluscacides in nut of Areca catech L].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect-increasing action of Areca catech for molluscacide.


METHODS
Experiments were conducted on the effect-increasing components isolated from the dry nut of A. catech.


RESULTS
Arecoline has been proved the most effect-increasing component.


CONCLUSIONS
When used with SPA arecoline could reduce markedly the doses of the two agents.
