The efficacy of vitamin D3, Se and cellulose in controlling voles (Microtus arvalis) and field mouse (Apodemus agrarius) in alfalfa fields was compared to the efficacy of products based on bromadiolone and brodifacoum. The trial complied with the PP 1/114(2) method (OEPP/EPPO, 1999). The new Se-based products, cellulose based products and vitamin D3 based products achieved good efficacy against voles, Microtus arvalis, and field mouse, Apodemus agrarius, compared to products based on bromadiolone and brodifacoum. These products have good toxicological and ecological properties and the fact that there have been no known cases of resistance make them recommendable for use against rodents in agricultural fields, especially alfalfa crops.
