“…On the contrary, cytochrome P450 (CYP450), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) are prominent detoxification enzymes in mollusks. These enzymes are important in breaking down exogenous toxins and maintaining normal physiological metabolism [ 24 ]. The average sizes of the newly hatched slug larvae and 40-day-old slugs were 6.62 ± 0.57 mm and 38.48 ± 2.14 mm, respectively.…”

Limax maximus, or great gray slug, is a common agriculture pest. The pest infests crops during their growth phase, creating holes in vegetable leaves, particularly in seedlings and tender leaves. A study was conducted to assess the insecticidal activity of Ageratina adenophora extract against these slugs. Factors such as fecundity, growth, hatching rate, offspring survival rate, protective enzyme activity, and detoxifying enzyme activity were examined in slugs exposed to the extract’s sublethal concentration (LC50) for two different durations (24 and 48 h). The phytochemical variability of the extracts was also studied. The LC50 value of the A. adenophora extract against L. maximus was 35.9 mg/mL. This extract significantly reduced the hatching rate of eggs and the survival rate of offspring hatched from exposed eggs compared with the control. The lowest rates were observed in those exposed for 48 h. The survival, growth, protective enzyme, and detoxification activity of newly hatched and 40-day-old slugs decreased. The A. adenophora extract contained tannins, flavonoids, and saponins, possibly contributing to their biological effects. These results suggest that the extract could be used as an alternative treatment for slug extermination, effectively controlling this species.

The great grey slug, Limax maximus is one of the common agricultural pests, which infesting the growing period of vegetables by making holes or lacerations in the leaves of vegetables, especially seedlings and tender leaves. To evaluate the insecticidal activity of Ageratina adenophora extract against slugs, the fecundity, growth, hatching rate, offspring survival rate, protective enzyme and detoxifying enzyme activity of slugs in different periods exposed to LC50 of the extract for two different time intervals (i.e., 24 h, 48 h), and extracts phytochemical variability were studied. The LC50 values of the A. adenophora extract against L. maximus was 35.9 mg/ml. This extract significantly reduced the hatching rate of eggs and the survival rate of offspring hatched from exposed eggs compared to the control, which exposed for 48 hours was lowest. The survival, growth, protective enzyme and detoxification enzyme activity of newly hatched and 40-day-old slugs decreased. In the A. adenophora extracts, tannins, flavonoids and saponins were identified, which may be beneficial in their biological effects. These results suggest that A. adenophora extract can be used as an alternative drug to kill slugs to effectively control the species.
