Efficacy of 0.2％curcumol bait against pest rodents in arid and semi-arid farmland in Xinjiang
To determine the feasibility of using 0.2％curcumol baits in arid and semi-arid farmland in Xinjiang,the pest rodent control experiment was conducted from April to July in 2022.Three test sites were set for the application of the bait before their breeding peak,and the control effect was investigated 30,60 and 90 days after the bait was applied.The results in the three test sites were similar,the dominant species were Mus musculus,Cricetulus migratorius and Microtus oeconomus,and the corrected control efficacies were all above 50％.Compared with the blank control area,the pregnancy rates of C.migratorius and M.oeconomus in the experimental area were significantly decreased,and the average litter sizes of M.musculus and C.migratorius in the experimental area were significantly reduced.The proportion of subadult to adult individual of three dominant species in the applied area was significantly decreased compared with the control area.According to the above results,curcumol baits had a significant control effect on the reproduction of local dominant rodent,and the bait was palatable to local rodents.So,it was suggested to use the curcumol baits to control rodent in local area.
