Abstract

The effects of rainfall, dew and soil moisture on the losses of pindone (2-pivalyl-l,3-indandione) and 1080 (sodium monofluoroacetate) from vacuum-impregnated oat grains used for rabbit control are described. 1080 is lost much faster than pindone. The practical significance of these results is discussed.
