In Vietnam rodents are one of the three most important problems identified by the agricultural sector. The damage caused by rodents in agricultural systems is an important impediment to rural development in the Mekong Delta region. This proposal capitalises on the research findings and on the measurement of farmers' belief and practises associated with rodent control in the Mekong Delta. Three research activities were determined to be of high priority: to determine farmers' knowledge, attitude and practise (KAP) in rat management; the economics of using a trap-barrier system (TBS) for managing rat populations; the sociological framework for implementing community TBS. | Project Title Code 1.8 Enhancing capacity in rodent management in the Mekong delta region using non chemical methods Australian Personnel Dr Grant Singleton Australian Institution CSIRO Wildlife and Ecology Vietnam Institution IAS PPD and CLRRI Proiect Duration July 2000 to June 2002 Project Description In Vietnam rodents are one of the three most important problems identified by the agricultural sector.
