Behandlung von Eicheln mit Repellentien gegen Nagetierschäden
[Treatment of acorns with repellents against rodent damage]

Abstract: Acorns and other kind of seeds were treated with various plant extracts and chemical compounds to reduce the losses caused by the Yellow-necked Field Mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) and the Redbacked Vole (Clethrionomys glareolus). The losses of treated and untreated acorns were tested in the lab and in an outdoor enclosure. Furthermore the influence of the repellents upon germination rate and development of the seedlings were tested. A treatment of acorns with the used repellents cannot be recommended. However, some positive results were obtained with sunflower seeds and millet treated with fractions of gasoil. These seeds were less susceptible against chemical treatments than acorns.
