Abstract

The study aimed to find out the effect of raw hot aqueous and alcoholic extract Zingiber officinale with three different concentrations (20, 25 ,30 ) mg/kg on the destruction of land snails   Monacha obstructa compared with the effectiveness of using molluscicide Metaldehyde (6%) in three concentrations (15, 20, 25 ) mg/kg. It was found that the third concentration, which is (30) of the alcoholic ginger extract, is the closest to the action of the pesticide, especially in the third week.
