Three species of doves cause significant economic losses in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr), for total or partial consumption
of cotyledons during crop emergence. Repellents are a nonlethal alternative to reduce this damage, preventing birds from
feeding on the crop. This study assessed the performance of seed-applied bird repellents. Tests involve...
El cultivo de soja (Glycine max) es unode los principales rubros productivos en Sudamérica.

Various strategies have been shown to be effective in reducing damage at the farm scale, but in some scenarios, it is necessary to also incorporate population control metho...
An industrial dairy farms often have conflicts with doves consuming livestock food, altering their diet composition and contaminating cattle food.

Feed losses w...
Las palomas torcazas (Zenaida auriculata) causan pérdidas que pueden representar hasta 50% de daño en algunos cultivos. El objetivo fue medir la aceptación de cebos contraceptivos para palomas torcazas en jaulas individuales (10 aves/tratamiento). Luego de la cuarentena y la aclimatación de las aves a la jaula, se les ofreció durante cuatro horas d...
