| Bagaimana mengontrol tikus di areal pertanaman padi. By understanding how populations of specific rodent species interact, simple and environment-friendly methods can be developed to control rats in lowland irrigated crops. This video, produced by the Irrigated Rice Research Consortium (IRRC; irri.org ), explains the breeding dynamics of the rice field rat and its relation to the rice planting season. It introduces ecologically based rodent management and highlights effective community actions to control rice field rats, such as the trap barrier system.

Some species breed regularly, some breed throughout the year, and others breed at very specific times. The ricefield rat, for example, breeds only when the rice is in the reproductive phase—if there is one planting season per year, they have one breeding season, if there are two, they will have two, and, if they have three crops a year, they will have three breeding seasons. Female rats are pregnant for 21 days and can mate the day after they give birth. One female can give birth to three litters—with 12 young per litter—during a rice crop, resulting in a total of 36 rats. These young will not breed until the next crop unless neighboring farmers plant their ... |
