| dc.description.abstract | Warfarin and fumarin are the two anticoagulant rodentkides available in India for rodent control operations. The toxlcity and relative acceptability of these poisons to the black rat, Ratios rattus wroughtoni Hinton, an important rodent pest of coconut and cocoa in South India were evaluated in the laboratory. There was no significant difference in the toxicity between these poisons (LFP50 around 4 days for both (he poisons) to R.F. wroughtooi, but there was much difference in their acceptance. After consuming the poison baits, the animals started dying from the third day onwards. The peak mortality was on the fifth day for warfarin and the seventh day for fumarin. Cent per cent mortality was achieved within 12 to 14 days feeding. However the baits mixed with fumarin were preferred significantly to those mixed with warfarin and hence recommended to use such poison bait continuously for two weeks in the field. | en_US |
