Abstract
Snails are considered invertebrate animals mostly distributed along the
ýcoastal area from Misurata up to Al-Nigat Al-khoms in the eastern part of the
ýcountry. White snails (Theba pisna) are the most common snails causing
ýsevere damage on different agricultural crops. Infestation severity varied
among ýthe infested areas, and ranged from high at Misurata, Zawia, Subrata,
Surman, ýmoderate at Al-Jafara, and low at Tripoli. Mechanical control measures
by hand ýpicking were applied in the target areas and the total quantity of
snails collected ýwas estimated around 14622 kg from all areas; Zawia (3854 kg),
Al-Nigat al-ýkhoms (3627 kg), Subrata and Surman (3425 kg), Misurata (2486 kg),
and Al-ýJafara (1230 kg) and nothing was collected from Tripoli and Al-khomis.
Collected ýsnails were destroyed by burning in each area at a place prepared for
this purpose. ýThus hand picking is a successful and easy measure to apply for
environmental ýsafety.ý
