Selecting bait base to increase uptake of zinc phosphide and warfarin rodenticide baits

摘要: Rodent pests cause major economic losses to rice crops and inflict health risk people live-stock in villages. Maize-based baits were used traditionally control ricefield rodents. This study aimed determine if replacing maize with as bait base would increase uptake of zinc phosphide warfarin wax block maturing crops, fallow fields The site was lowland ricefields Cambodia. Nineteen experimental plots placed the three habitats, three/four treated per habitat. Each plot consisted five points each maize-based toxic non-toxic baits. Mean increased by 65% through base. Such greater being active ingredient than phosphide, but both increases substantial (62% 51%). high villages (85%) (79%), lower (49%). We recommend that be (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
