| Abstract | ||
| The aim of this study is to determine the population density of some rodent species attacked greenhouses. Experiments were carried out during two successive years (2020-2021) (2021- 2022) in Sohag (umm Duma village tama district) and Qena Ezbat AL Busa (Abu Tasht district) Governorates. Results showed that Mus musculus, (Linnaeus), The house mouse, Mus musculus (Linnaeus), was the dominant mouse, followed by the Norway rat, R. norvegicus, and then the Nile rat, Arvicanthis niloticus (Desm.) while the least amount of white-bellied rat, Rattus rattus frugivorus (Rafinesque), was found in greenhouses in Sohag Governorate during two seasons. In comparison to farmed land in the Sohag Governorate, Survey analyzes the rodent species in the newly reclaimed scmi - desert area in Qena Governorate result proved that house mouse, Mus musculus(Linnaeus) was the highest caught number followed by the lesser Gerbillus gerbillus while the R.rattus frugivours was the lowest caught number in greenhouses at Qena Governorate on the other hand the highest population densities were trapped in autumn followed by summer in both two Governorate during season (2020-2021) in the second season (2021- 2022) the highest population densities were trapped in summer followed by autumn in both Governorates. | ||
