Effect of single and binary treatments of plant‐derived molluscicides on different enzymes—acetylcholinesterase (AChE), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and acid/alkaline phosphatase (ACP/ALP)—in the nervous tissue of the harmful terrestrial snail Achatina fulica were studied. Sublethal in vivo 24‐h exposure to 40% and 80% LC 50 of Azadirachta indica oil, Cedrus deodara oil, Allium sativum bulb powder, Nerium indicum bark powder and binary combinations of A. sativum (AS) + C. deodara (CD) and CD + A. indica (AI) oils significantly altered the activity of these enzymes in the nervous tissue of Achatina fulica . The binary treatment of AS + CD was more effective against AChE, LDH, and ALP than the single ones. However, binary treatment of AI + CD was more effective against ALP.
