LCL: lower confidence limits, UCL: upper confidence limits. Six batches of 15 snails were exposed to different concentrations of the above molluscicidal treatments. Mortality of redia was recorded every 2 h. Concentrations given are the final concentration (W/V) in the glass aquarium water. Significant negative regression (P < 0.05) was observed between exposure time and LC50 of treatments. TS: testing significant of the regression coefficient. Citral: 12.06+, ferulic acid: 29.31+, umbelliferone: 7.76++, azadirachtin: 15.58++, allicin: 19.19++: linear regression between x and y, ++: nonlinear regression.
