Abstract

Rodents are occasional pests of orchard crops throughout the world. The application of rodenticides is an effective and practical method for controlling rodent pests and reducing damage. However, a paucity of information exists on the efficacy of rodenticides in orchards (Pomegranate trees) for these pest species. To address this gap in knowledge, we first identify rodent species. We then used this index to test the efficacy of three rodenticides baits are Racumin 0.0375%, Difenacom 0.005%  "anticoagulant", and  Zinc phosphide 2% "Acute Toxicity"  to determine their utility for controlling rats in agricultural orchards, compared with  one methods  of Mechanical control by "destroying burrows and nests". The results showed that the methods tested, Zinc phosphide 2% grain bait was the most effective option for controlling rodent (Inhibition% = 87.95**), respectively).The use of elevated bait stations proved effective at providing bait to target species and should substantially limit non-target access to rodenticides.
