| The aim of this work is to survey the species of rodents present in Sohag Governorate, on Ttwo cereal crops (wheatmaize) during 2021: 2022 and. 2022:2023. Data revealed the presence of three species of rodents on the wheat crop, (10 carats), namely Rattus Norvegicus, and Arvicanthis niloticus, and three on the maize, 12 carats crop, namely Rattus Norvegicus. Arvicanthis niloticus, R.r fragivorus . The results also showed that the numerical density increases during the summer and the spring seasons with an increase in the sex ratio as well, and decreases during the winter and autumn seasons due to the inadequacy of food or weather conditions in this period. This work aims to identify the species of rodents in order to put them in a future plan to develop an integrated control program in order to control and decreasing the damage caused by these pests to grass crops in Egypt. | ||
