The toxic effect of single and binary treatments of synthetic and plant‐derived molluscicides was studied against the harmful terrestrial snail Achatina fulica . In single treatments, among the synthetic molluscicides Snail Kill and cypermethrin were potent, whereas Cedrus deodara oil was more toxic among molluscicides of plant origin against A. fulica . In binary treatments, a combination of Cedrusdeodara + Alliumsativum was more toxic. The toxicities of these single and binary treatments of synthetic and plant‐derived molluscicides were dose and time dependent. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
