Overview

Laboratory evaluation reveals thyme and clove oils significantly reduce M. cartusiana populations, suggesting neurotoxic and biochemical impacts.

Key Points

  • Both thyme and clove oils demonstrated significant molluscicidal effects on Monacha cartusiana snails.
  • Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry identified thymol and eugenol as major components, comprising over 66% of the oils.
  • The essential oils caused notable endocrine disruption suggested by hormonal downregulation and enzyme activity changes.
  • Field application of oils led to a marked decrease in snail populations, supporting their use as biorational molluscicides.
