Understanding mouse biology and ecology in zero- and no-till cropping systems to inform best practice crop production and mouse management…
House mice undergo periodic and irregular outbreaks and sometime mouse plagues cause widespread damage. The new farming systems provide more cover (from retention of crop residues), more food (from increased cropping intensity) and less disturbance…- Project start date:
