Ecologically based rodent management: An interview with Grant Singleton 

Dr. Grant Singleton, rodent ecologist and Irrigated Rice Research Consortium (IRRC) coordinator, talks about ecologically based rodent management (EBRM), the IRRC's successes in EBRM work, and future uptake of EBRM in other areas in the world.

Of rice and rats: an introduction to ecologically based rodent management

Rodents have played a central role in human life for thousands of years, and comprise perhaps the most important family of mammals. This video, produced by the Irrigated Rice Research Consortium, features the impacts of rodents on people and rice crops, particularly in Southeast Asia. The concept of ecologically based rodent management (EBRM) is explained, and effective community actions to control rice field rats are suggested.

How to control rice field rats

By understanding how populations of specific rodent species interact, simple and environment-friendly methods can be developed to control rats in lowland irrigated crops. This video, produced by the Irrigated Rice Research Consortium, explains the breeding dynamics of the rice field rat and its relation to the rice planting season. It introduces ecologically based rodent management and highlights effective community actions to control rice field rats, such as the trap barrier system.
