Assessment of the socio‐economic impacts associated with the arrival of apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) in Mwea irrigation scheme, Kenya

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 11, Page 4343-4356, November 2023., 2023
Rice production in Mwea irrigation scheme, Kenya is being threatened by the invasive freshwater snail, Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck) (Ampullariidae). The cost of hired labor for physical removal of egg masses and adult snails is resulting in substantial negative effects on net income. Strategies to manage snail spread are urgently needed.
