1. CHAPTER IV
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the presentation, analysis and interpretation of data
gathered during the experimentation.
The Effects of the Different Treatments
The first research problem was to determine the effects of the different
treatments obtained from chili pepper decoction, hydrated lime and table salt against
giant African snails.
Table 1 presents the effects of the different treatments against giant African
snails. It shows that the three treatments having different composition are effective
against giant African snails but they vary in time of death.
