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.  aSummary in Arabic. 0aRodentsxControl. 0aPotassium. 3azinc phosphide.1 aAbdelhady, Eman A.0 tMinufiya Journal of Agricultural Research. g2014. v.39(5)x1110-02657nnaswu15815140uhttp://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2014/MJAR/3914/5/1705.pdfzFull Text Article
