Abstract
Abstract This paper summarises the results of field evaluations during the past several years of the chemical methiocarb to protect ripening crops from birds in the East African countries of Somalia, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Kenya. Methiocarb was applied in edge, alternate band, or spot treatments using ground spraying equipment to fields of rice, wheat, sorghum and sunflowers ranging in size from 0.5 ha to 1125 ha. The positive results and favourable cost effectiveness obtained in nearly all the trial situations demonstrate that under certain farming conditions methiocarb can be an economical method of reducing crop losses due to birds.
