The studty was conducted to evaluate the potential of hagonoy (Chromolaena odorata L.), wild
sunflower (Tithonia diversifolia L.), sapinit (Lantana camara L), cogon (Imperata cylindrica L) and wedelia
(Wedelia trilobata L) as molluscicides against anthurium snails; to asses the efficacy of varying
concentrations of selected weed species against anthurium snail; and to compare the effectiveness of
environment friendly control options for anthurium snail.
The experiment was set up at Benguet State University and Philippine Textile Research Institute, La
Trinidad, Benguet Baguio City from June to September 2000 using a Completely Randomized Design
(CRD). Among the five weeds evaluated wild sunflower (Tithonia trilobata L.) at 75% extract
concentration effectively repelled an average of 77% snails. The most preferred host among the weed
species was the cogon rhizome.
Anthurium was the most preferred host by the snail followed by beer. Cogon was also a preferred
attractant by the anthurium snails.
