Laboratory and field evaluation of difethialone, a new anticoagulant rodenticide
The efficacy of the newly developed anticoagulant rodenticide, difethialone, was evaluated against various rodent species in laboratory and fields. Difethialone at 0.025% concentration in the form of loose bait (broken wheat and rice + veg. oil + garlic powder) gave absolute mortality in Rattus ratt...
