From these; seven field crops. eleven vegetables, four fruit trees, five ornamental plants and eleven weeds. While the brown garden land snail E. vermiculata was recorded on seventeen ornamental plants and two fruit trees.
3- Infestation by M. cartusiana was found early with an average low population density 7.1 individuals per quadrate 50 x 50 em in November on soil of clover field at Sannoris district. While the maximum population density of this species was recorded in April at Sannoris and Kafr Tohormos with an average of 90.1 & 14.2 individuals for the former location and 58.0 & 21.2 individuals for the later; on soil and plant respectively.
