Abstract

per 100 m 2 were counted and provided an index of population density (The hole blocking census method). Although, different rodent control techniques are used in Albania, trapping, and rodenticides are the main techniques applied. An economic threshold based on the index of rodent density was used to decide when to treat the populations. We use two different thresholds; in spring it is 5-10 holes for 100 m 2 ; in autumn it is 20-30 holes per 100 m 2 . The monitoring process starts 10 days before possible treatment with rodenticides. The results show that there is higher rodent damage in alfalfa than in other crops.
