Einfluss des Maulwurfs (Talpa europaea) auf die Wirksamkeit von Migrationsbarrieren zur Abwehr von Wühlmausschäden im Ökologischen Landbau
Water voles (Arvicola terrestris) and common voles (Microtus arvalis) cause substantial damage in organic fruit growing by gnawing at bark and roots of trees. To prevent the immigration of voles into orchards a mechanical drift fence was developed and successfully tested in 2002 and 2003. The effect...
