Book excerpt: Throughout the rice-growing areas of the world, rats and related species have attained major pest status. Rodent damage to rice is widespread throughout the rice-growing regions of the world, but its intensity varies from place to place and season to seson. Because much rice is grown on small farms, heavy damage in a few fields can be a serious economic problem for the individual farmer. A nearly overwhelming variety of methods for controlling rodents have been suggested, discussed, recommended, or tried. Unfortunately, little distinction is usually made between killing rats and protecting crops from damage. The major criterion for evaluating agricultural rodent control methods should be the degree of crop protection they afford. The process of protecting fields could be accomplished by killing rats, excluding them, or making the corp areas less suitable for rats to occupy. A variety of physical, chemical, and biological control methods have been suggested by various of methods for each situation should be based on cost, practicality, and cultural acceptability as well as on effectiveness. Rat control, like other forms of crop protection, should be considered as an integral part of the agricultural production process. Since the labor and capital available to each farmer are limited, extension workers have an important role in helping the farmer find efficient ways to allocate his time and resources to produce and protect his crop.
