Abstract

The land snail species Theba pisana, Eobarria verrniculata, ffelrcella vestalis and Cochliceffa scuts (Helloidae; Pulmonata) are serious pests in fruit orchards at Oehera Governorate. The relative susceptibility of five fruit species (apple, orange, pear, plum trees and banana plants) to the four land snail species infestation was studied under laboratory condiĀ­tions, during 1998 by identification of fruit leaf cells in their excrement. Results indicated that T. pisana, H. vesfaiis and C. acute highly prefer pear, while E.verrnictata prefers banana. Oranges ranks second in their favourability. On the contrary, plum and apple are not preferred for the snail species. beside banana for C. acute. Moreover, pear and orange are mostly attacked by T. pisana and banana by E.vermiculala.
