“…Snail farming provides source of income to farmers and play a vital role in economic development of a country, hence, sustaining snail farmers by reducing poverty level of those in practice. [20], supported the findings while maintaining that a prospective farmer needed to back up his desires to venture into snail farming with enough information, adequate knowledge and relevant skills to cope with challenges of running a vibrant and viable snail business. It is not enough to have the capital, desire to start, without acquiring the necessary training required for dayto day running of the business.…”

“…No entanto, indivíduos maiores são capazes de dispersar para áreas não perturbadas (Numazawa et al 1988;Takeda & Hiroshi 1988). Apesar de ambientes modificados facilitarem seu estabelecimento, a limpeza de terrenos pode limitar a persistência da população (Duah & Monney 1999;Albuquerque et al 2008).…”

“…A deposição de resíduos sólidos favorece o aumento populacional, portanto, algumas medidas consistem apenas na limpeza e eliminação de entulhos, lixos e restos de culturas (Duah & Monney 1999;PAL 1999;Simião & Fischer 2004;Albuquerque et al 2008). Ainda, considerando que um dos principais impactos da espécie é sobre culturas agrícolas, o uso de barreiras para proteger plantações tem sido bastante estudado, como a remoção da vegetação, faixas de areia ou cinzas, ou cerca viva, por exemplo, espécies do gênero Annona afastam o caramujo, sem induzir a mortalidade (Peterson 1957;PAL 1999;Prasad et al 2004 As ações realizadas por UC foram incipientes, no entanto, estão de acordo com algumas formas de controle disponível na literatura (em especial, a coleta manual).…”
