Damage caused by the white snail Cernuella virgata (Da Costa, 1778) was for the first
time observed in vegetable crops in Serbia during the summers of 2011 and 2012. In this
country, serious damage to vegetable crops is usually caused by slugs, while snails do not
normally cause any significant harm. Typical xerophilic snail species in the genera Cernuella,
Xerolenta and Theba cause damage even more rarely since they are limited to wild flora
in uncultivated and ruderal areas, and local outbreaks occur seldom and only in forage
leguminous crops. The species C. virgata was for the first time found to cause damage
to a number of vegetable crops during long periods of extremely warm and dry weather,
including total devastation of a green onion crop. Tokom leta 2011. i 2012. godine prvi put je dokumentovana štetnost belog puža, Cernuella
virgata (Da Costa, 1778), na povrtarskim biljkama u Srbiji. U našoj zemlji značajne štete na
povrću izazivaju prvenstveno golaći, a veće štete od puževa sa ljušturom nisu uobičajene.
Kada se radi o izrazito kserofilnim vrstama puževa rodova Cernuella, Xerolenta i Theba, ispoljavanje
štetnosti je još ređe, jer su one ograničene na spontanu floru neobrađenih i ruderalnih
površina, sa lokalnim masovnim pojavama samo na površinama pod krmnim leguminozama.
Tokom produženih perioda izrazito toplih i suvih uslova, uočena je po prvi put
štetnost vrste C. virgata na većem broju povrtarskih biljaka, dok je na parceli mladog luka
šteta bila potpuna.
