| To control problematic vole species in organic orchards farmers can choose between different measures. Some methods like gassing, trapping and even the support of natural vole antagonists target to reduce vole population by killing individuals. Other methods like protective guards or migration barriers exclude voles from single trees or whole orchards. Recent combinations of the two approaches worked well but had some drawbacks in practice. Nevertheless, efficiency of migration barriers can be improved by attracted natural predators. Here we present first practical experiences and field observations of a vole-trapping-fence prototype. The new construction consists of prefabricated recyclable polypropylene pieces which are mounted to modules and assembled... |

| Cyclic vole species, particularly the Water vole (Arvicola terrestris), cause substantial agricultural damage throughout their wide geographical range. In organic pomiculture synthetic pesticides are not allowed. Trapping and fumigation remain the only applicable measures for managing voles but require a lot of time and personal skills. The success of using these methods is reduced by the fast recolonisation of the empty areas. To stop the permanent overground immigration of voles a mechanical barrier system was developed and tested in enclosures and at two study sites in Baden-Wuerttemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate between October 2002 and October 2003. The barrier, consisting of a low fence of whire mesh or polyolefin foil, reached 20 cm below and 30 cm... |

| Wühlmausschäden gehören zu den am schwierigsten lösbaren Pflanzenschutzproblemen im ökologischen Obstbau. Nach einer Umfrage waren im Jahr 2002 79 % der deutschen Apfelanbaubetriebe von solchen Schäden betroffen. Auf 80 % der Flächen war die Schermaus (A. terrestris) der Hauptschadensverursacher. 61 % der Obstbauern sahen einen hohen Bedarf an der Entwicklung neuer Präventiv- und Bekämpfungsmaßnahmen. Um die Einwanderung von Wühlmäusen in Obstbauflächen zu verhindern, wurde ein mechanisches Barrieresystem entwickelt und an je einem Standort in Baden-Württemberg und Rheinland-Pfalz getestet. An jedem Standort wurden zwei ca. 0,7 ha große Parzellen mit Barrieren aus Drahtgitter (Maschenweite 10 mm) bzw. Polyolefin-Folie umgeben. Zwei ungeschützte... |

| Im Ökologischen Obstbau verursachen Schermäuse (Arvicola terrestris) und Feldmäuse (Microtus arvalis) erhebliche Schäden durch das Benagen der Rinde und Wurzeln von Obstbäumen. Um die Zuwanderung dieser Schaderreger in sensible Kulturen dauerhaft zu verhindern, können Migrationsbarrieren eingesetzt werden. Migrationsbarrieren sind niedrige Zäune aus engmaschigem Drahtgitter, das 50 cm tief in die Erde eingegraben wird und das 40 cm über den Boden hinausragt. Die Oberkante der Migrationsbarriere wird rechtwinklig nach außen umgebogen, um ein Überklettern durch Scher- und Feldmäuse zu verhindern. In den Zufahrtsbereichen wird das Drahtgitter oberirdisch durch flexible Polyolefin-Folie ersetzt. Zwischen März 2004 und Dezember 2006 wurde ein zeitsparendes und... |

| Water voles (Arvicola terrestris) and common voles (Microtus arvalis) cause substan-tial damage in organic fruit growing by gnawing at bark and roots of trees. To prevent the immigration of voles into orchards a mechanical drift fence was developed and successfully tested in 2002 and 2003. The effectiveness of the drift fence, consisting of wire mesh reaching 30 cm above the soil surface and up to 30 cm into the ground, was impaired by moles (Talpa europaea) undermining the fence. Voles used these tunnels to immigrate into the protected plots. In a new study supported by “Bund-esprogramm Ökologischer Landbau” and carried out between 2004 and 2006, factors contributing to undermining of drift fences by moles were determined. The results of practical field... |
