The short‐term effects on wild goose behaviour of chlorpyrifos application to permanent pasture
Summary Chlorpyrifos (Spannit 48% e.c.; PBI) was applied at the recommended rate of 0.72 kg a.i./ha to two pastures on which either Brent Geese ( Branta bernicla ) or Canada Geese ( Branta canadensis ) were grazing. Observations of the number of geese and their behaviour were made on two or three oc...
