Mouse management
Mouse management is a concern in many grain-growing regions. GRDC partners with CSIRO and others to enhance understanding of mouse management.
The CSIRO-led research focuses on understanding and management practices for:
- mouse ecology, biology and population dynamics for better management
- mouse surveillance
- mouse feeding preferences.
Since 2018, GRDC has invested over $8 million in mouse management RD&E.
