Zusammenfassung:The field efficacy of coumatetralyl bait (0.0375% was studied against Hystrix indica on a floriculture farm, where Gladiolus and Dutch Irish were being severely damaged. The bait was placed underneath the bait stations, established either near the porcupine dens or at entry points along the fence line of the farm. Bait consumption increased up to 7th day, when it steadily decreased by the 14th day, reaching zero level on the 15th day. As a result of baiting, dead porcupine showed symptoms of anticoagulant poisoning. Analysis of post-treatment porcupine activity showed no signs of activity, indicating 100% reduction of porcupine population.
