Abstract:

Two snail species were identified: Helix pomatia L. and Cepaea hortensis MĂŒll. The report between species H. pomatia and C. hortensis was 10:0,2. The attack comes after planting in May and continues until the end of culture. Climatic conditions were very favorable for pests with a lot of rains and humidity. So that the attack of H. pomatia was very high in Dahlia variabilis - 19,5 %, Lilium candidum - 37,4 %, Phaseolus vulgaris - 81,1 %, Lactuca sativa - 28,9 %. Other species of plants were also attacked: Phlox drummondii 1,2%, Hosta plantaginea 6,3%, Pisum sativum 0,9%. The high attack at previous mentioned species determined the search and removal of snails from crops. The number of Cepaea hortensis attacked species was very small. Two species has snail attack: Chrysanthemum coronarium 1,5 % and Phlox drummondii 0,3 %. This snail specie do not have economic importance.
