Ministry implements program for biological control of rodents
The Ministry of Agriculture is implementing a program for biological control of rodents using natural enemies like hummingbirds. The program has led to a significant decrease in the production and use of rodenticide, with savings of around €130,000 for the state. The initiative aims to raise awareness among farmers about the importance of biological control and reducing the use of chemical preparations. The program has shown promising results and is being considered for extension to other professional groups in the rural sector.
