The snail pests attacked newly planted paddy particularly in fields which have plenty of water. As the attacked young paddy stems can not grow properly. Farmers have to replant them which costs them dozens of million rupiah in total. The farmers confirmed their difficulties to cope with the snail pests.
As during the daytime the snails commonly hide in the water. Available pesticides are considered to be ineffective to erradicate the pests which seem to be immune to such chemical substances.
