Download Determining the efficacy of broadleaf application of Feratox and Cyanara for control of Bennett’s wallaby and ground laid Cyanara for control of dama wallabies (pilot trials)

There is a lack of registered substances for wallaby control in New Zealand. In addition, possum interference of wallaby bait reduces the number of wallabies accessing and eating the bait. Broadleaf plants are not a preferred diet of possums, but wallabies readily eat broadleaf. This research explores whether Feratox® and Cyanara® paste attached to broadleaf foliage can kill Bennett’s wallabies, while reducing possum interference. In addition, a pilot study assesses the effectiveness of Cyanara® on dama wallabies during a possum control operation.
