新疆吐鲁番市农区鼠害发生规律初探

A preliminary study on the occurrence of rodent in rural areas of Turpan,Xinjiang

为掌握吐鲁番市农区害鼠种类及数量发生规律,笔者于2019在吐鲁番市3个区(县)分别设立了农田和农户鼠害监测点,于3—9月对农田和农户的鼠情进行了每月1次的监测。结果发现,吐鲁番市农区害鼠种类以小家鼠为主,农田区大沙鼠近年也发展成优势种,农村地区已捕获到褐家鼠。本市农田和农村居民区的害鼠月密度变动呈现明显的互补趋势。吐鲁番市农田鼠害最适防治时期为8月,农户鼠害防治适期为3月和7月。研究结果为吐鲁番市鼠害防治工作提供了科学依据。

In order to understand the species community and population dynamics of rodents in rural areas of Turpan,Xinjiang,from March to September,the rodents from both farmland and farmhouses in three districts(counties)of Turpan were trapped monthly using snap-trap respectively.The results showed that Mus musculus was the dominant species in the rodent community captured from the monitoring sites in Turpan,Rhombomys opimus has become another dominant species in farmland in recent years,and Rattus norvegicus was captured in farmhouses of Turpan also.Rodent population in farmland and farmhouses implied a complementary relationship from March to September in Turpan.According to the results,in Turpan,the optimal period of rodent control was August in farmland,and March and July in farmhouses.The results provided a scientific basis for rodent control in Turpan。
