Volatile oil from calamansi rind (Citrus mitis L.) was isolated and evaluated for molluscicidal action against Pomaceae caniculata L. (golden kuhol). Three preparations at varying concentrations of volatile oil were prepared, i.e. T1 (10 percent volatile oil); T2 (20 percent Volatile oil); T3 (30 percent Volatile oil). These were tested against newly hatched golden kuhol. Mortality rate and percentage survival were considered. All the three volatile oil preparations were effective in controlling the Pomaceae caniculata L. The potency of the volatile oil from calamansi rind increased as concentration increased and as time of exposure increased. The 30 percent volatile oil gave the highest mortality rate.
