Hi All ! Fruit growers in this region often have problems with field mice (Microtus lusitanicus), which seriously damage the roots of the trees. In an attempt to control this pest using biological means: 1 * The presence of wild ferrets may be a good method, but we need know how to create safe havens for them. Which size (diameter) should be a plastic tube to be used as protection against its predators? 2 * Are there any other effective biological means of struggle against field mice? Sincerely,
Alberto Santos Agronomy Departament University of TrĂ¡s-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD) Tel.: + 351 259 350 447
