Laboratory and field trials were conducted to increase the efficiency of zinc phosphide bait against rats using potassium tartrate. Potassium tartrate was tested alone and mixed with zinc phosphide bait using non choice feeding methods against black rats, Rattus rattus. Laboratory results indicated that potassium tartrate at rate 8% when added to 1. 5% zinc phosphide bait enhanced the mortality from 60 to 80%. The field performance was in harmony with laboratory results as potassium tartrate enhanced the population reduction of Norwey rat from 28. 1 to 70.5% when added potassium tartrate. Also, the consumed amount at bait increase to 27. 7g/Fadden comparing with 20g only for zinc phosphide bait alone.
