Molluscicidal activity in the seeds of Millettia thonningii (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae). 1986

N A Evans, and P J Whitfield, and B J Squire, and L E Fellows, and S V Evans, and S M Millott

Seeds of the leguminous plant Millettia thonningii were shown to possess promising molluscicidal activity against Bulinus trunctatus. The size of the snails was an important determinant of their susceptibility to the molluscicide; specimens with shell lengths of 2 to 3 mm being more susceptible than snails 5 to 6 mm long.
