My research partner and I are looking into the efficiency of calamansi (Citrus microcarpa) leaves as a biomolluscicide, particularly against the golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata). Research has led us to find that calamansi leaves are already actively used by farmers against P. canaliculata infestations, yet we are not yet aware of any scientific analyses that delve into the specific chemical components that allow this activity.
the components such as methiocarb, niclosamide , metaldehyde etc are major molluscicidat components extracted from calamansi rind. Likewise , oil extracted from pummel has a good mulluscicidal property . you can try out some citrons , they could serve your puepose but its rind -derived oil hold some promise.
Thank you so much, Mr. Srivastava! If we may request, would you suggest any specific publications that support those components for their molluscicidal properties? We will definitely look into pummel and citrons as well. Thank you so much, once again. Your insight is greatly appreciated.
Hi Francine. I would like to ask if you got any publications? If you have, can you please share it with me since I'm also finding some related literature for my thesis. Thanks.
