Figure 1. Molluscicidal activity of ethanol-based extracts and water-based extracts concentration of C. maxima seeds on B. pfeifferi and B. globosus snails. The asterisk indicates significance at p <0.05 compared to the positive control Thunder. The letter ‘a’ indicates significance at p <0.05 compared to the negative control. Error bars represent the standard error.
