b'In this podcast, CSIRO\\u2019s Steve Henry outlines the research he has been doing with mice in cropping systems. Part of that project, which GRDC has invested in, involves bait trials aimed at getting better uptake of Zinc Phosphide the chemical used in mouse baits.\\n\\nThe podcast was recorded during a break between sessions at the Bendigo Update and starts with an update on the situation in the paddocks at the Bendigo Update, February 2019.\\n\\nFurther information:\\nSteve Henry, CSIRO\\n0428 633 844\\nsteve.henry@csiro.au\\n\\nGRDC Research Code: IAC00002\\n\\nMr Henry encourages growers and advisers to report and map mouse presence, absence and level of activity using MouseAlert (www.mousealert.org.au) so others can see the scale and extent of localised mouse activity. MouseAlert also provides access to fact sheets about mouse control and forecasts of the likelihood for future high levels of mouse activity in each grain-growing region.\\n\\nThe GRDC-funded mouse monitoring project is a collaboration between Landcare Research (New Zealand), CSIRO Agriculture and Food and the Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Centre.\\n\\nObservations can be directed to Mr Henry via Twitter, @MouseAlert.\\n\\nInformation about mouse control is available via the MouseAlert website, www.mousealert.org.au, or the GRDC Fact Sheet on mouse control.\\n\\nUpdate papers \\u2013 Bendigo 2019 Mice status, baiting and forecast threat: https://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/grdc-update-papers/tab-content/grdc-update-papers/2019/02/mice-status,-baiting-and-forecast-threat\\n\\nUseful Resources Mouse Control: https://grdc.com.au/mousecontrol Better Mouse Management: https://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/all-publications/publications/2017/07/tips-and-tactics-better-mouse-management\\n\\nMonitoring Mice in Australia: https://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/grdc-update-papers/tab-content/grdc-update-papers/2018/02/monitoring-mice-in-australia\\n\\nControlling Mice - Baiting Strategies: https://agex.org.au/media/controlling-mice-baiting-strategies/ Video: Mice Control - a challenge for conservation farming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQxKXWzkKjQ\\n\\nMouse Chew Card: https://grdc.com.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0026/307961/Mouse_card_A4web_compressed.pdf GRDC Mouse Control webinar and Q&A from 28th of March: https://grdc.com.au/news-and-media/webinars/mouse-control-webinar\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
