| dc.description.abstract | The toxicity and field efficacy of bromadiolone, a single dose second generation anti-coagulant rodenticide, was tested against the black rat Rattus rattus wroughtoni Hinton. The LDS0 value with 95 % confidence limits of this poison to R. r. wroughtoni was found to be 0.51 (0.40-0.60) mg/kg body weight. One and two days exposure of rats to bromadiolone baits (0.005%) resulted in 93% and 100 % mortality, respectively. The days to death varied from 3 to 20. The rats did not show any aversion to the poison baits. In coconut fields, application of 10g bromadiolone baits, two times, at an interval of 12 days, on the crown of the infested coconut palms completely reduced the rat damage. | en_US |
