SUPPRESSION OF HARMFUL RODENTS IN THE VINEYARD

Zadatak ovog završnog rada bio je ukazati na štetnost glodavaca u vinogradima, odrediti njihovu brojnost i prikazati rezultate suzbijanja rodenticidima. Problem je što mali broj proizvođača obraća pozornost na štetnost glodavaca u svojim nasadima, iako im mogu nanijeti ozbiljne štete i smanjiti urod. Glodavci štete nanose uglavnom glodanjem korijena loze, ali rade štetu i na nadzemnim djelovima vinove loze pa čak i na grožđu. Kroz ovo istraživanje na pokusnim površinama u vinogradu cilj je ustanoviti aktivnost glodavaca, njihovu reakciju na rodenticide i djelotvornost rodenticida. Bitno je i upozoriti na otrovnost rodenticida te ukazati na oprez prilikom rukovanja istim.The aim of this thesis was to point out the harmful effects of rodents in the vineyards, to determine their number and display the results of rodenticide usage. The problem is that a small number of manufacturers pay attention on the harmful effects of rodents in their plantations, although they can cause serious damage and reduce yields. Rodents do damage mainly with malling the roots of vines, but also do damage to the aboveground parts of the vine and even the grapes. Through this research on experimental areas in the vineyard the aim was to detect the rodent activity, their reaction to rodenticides and effectiveness of rodenticides. It is important to draw attention to the toxicity od rodenticides and indicate caution when handling the same
