Pomacea in Rice Field's Issues should be solved by now. Why after 20 years farmers are still fighting with Pomacea (golden apple snails). Easier way, farmers are using pesticides OR poisons. Some of them are illegal and killing non-target organisms. Government agencies should consult experts. They are still alive now!
