Current role of different plant metabolites in rodent pest management
Abstract
Human need to produce and store healthy food is associated with a need to protection it from
various field and commensal rodents. Special attention is necessary for meeting the required standards
set for the production and storage of organic food.
Numerous laboratory and field experiments have so far focused on different plant products
with an ultimate goal of assessing their possible applications for commodity protection from rodent
pests. Research results have shown that their effective impact on rodent feeding manifests either as
repelling or attracting. Both fungicidal and fungistatic properties of specific plant metabolites are
important for improving current rodent pest management programmes.
Our recent research focused on testing the effects of lemon balm, Melissa officinalis, on the
feeding of house mouse, Mus musculus, as well as on the effects of common walnut, Juglans regia, on
brown rat, Rattus norvegicus. The experiments were conducted using the standard EPPO met...hod for
choice feeding trials. Acceptability and palatability of lemon balm essential oil to house mice were
7.02% and 0.079, respectively, while the same parameters of walnut extract for brown rats were
27.28% and 0.40, respectively.
