Rats Attacking Wheat Crops? Try This 5-Day Scientific Control Method!
- •Wheat farmers in Shahjahanpur face significant crop damage from rats, which are gnawing at plants and hollowing them from the roots.
- •Dr. Hadi Hussain Khan, an agricultural expert, explains that rats are rapidly reproducing vertebrate pests whose continuously growing teeth lead them to gnaw on crops.
- •Rats destroy more grain than they consume, are more active at night, and their tunnels damage soil structure, necessitating scientific control.
- •A five-day strategy involves identifying burrows on day one, closing them on day two, and placing non-poisonous bait in reopened burrows on day three.
- •On day four, poisonous bait with zinc phosphide is placed in active burrows, leading to rat elimination by day five; ensure pet safety.
Why It Matters: A 5-day scientific method using bait and zinc phosphide can effectively control rat infestations in wheat crops.
