 All right. Now what I want to show you are these two snails here. This is the infamous golden apple snail and It was introduced to the Philippines by accident. I won't name who was responsible for this It was not an eerie person. It was a very well-known celebrity who thought that Philippine people would like to eat those kind of snails of course They didn't but it has since then become one of the major rice pests For farmers in the Philippines, but also in many other countries in Southeast Asia And I'm really really worried about it because you can see It's only there where there is standing water because it can only move if there is standing water If there's a no standing water on the soil, it can't move. That's why we didn't put water on when we were throwing But now we have to put water on which also means that those snails which are all over the place here may actually Start moving into our field and some of many of them have actually dug into the soil They're sitting there and they might come out now and what they do is they chop off the young seedlings completely So that could be a major problem that we are facing We haven't put on any chemicals to control those snails. Some farmers do this But these are very toxic chemicals and we don't really like them So we're hoping that by using this alternate wetting and drying irrigation where we don't have long periods of standing water on the field surface We can restrict the movement of these snails and control it that way, but it's going to be risky Now today we're measuring the plant density in the field. The plants have started to tell us so it's getting a little bit difficult to count But it's still okay I'm using a 0.1 square meter or one-tenth of a square meter ring manufactured from some garden hose I stole from my wife Throw the ring at random Preferably over your shoulder that guarantees fairly random and it's several locations so you get it representative of the field and the results we got averaged about 13 plants per Per ring or 130 plants per square meter But the lowest was one plant per ring and the highest was 32 so there's a lot of variation But I still think we're okay
