Abstract

The repellency effect of three compounds, namely ( fenarimol, flusilazole and oxadixyl) against the house sparrow Passer domesticus ni­loticus was studied under laboratory and field conditions at Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate. The obtained results from the toxicity and repellen­cy tests (11350, R50 values) indicated that fenarimol exhibited the high­est repellency effect against house sparrow birds followed by flusilazole and oxadixyl. The field results were in harmony with those obtained from laboratory, whereas fenarimol compound protected wheat, broad bean, rice and sunflower grains with the highest protection value, while flusila­zofe ranked the second order followed by oxadixyl compound.
