Abstract :
The Allopeas clavulinum (spike awl snail) is a mud loving garden and nursery inhabiting mollusc which is very harmful for seedlings of plants as well as a vector for some parasitic helminths. Keeping in the mind the hazardous effect of synthetic chemical pesticides, some plants were screened for their eco-friendly pesticidal effect. The Leaf extract of Prosopis cineraria was found very effective for the eco-friendly management of these harmful snails.
