As part of an effort to determine the basic physiological, biochemical, and toxological effects of rodenticides on target and nontarget species, this report describes chemicals that have been in use as rodenticides since 1965. The discovery in Great Britain and the United States of rats that are resistant to warfarin led to the development of new rodenticides effective against anticoagulant-resistant rodents; calciferol was developed to be incorporated into warfarin baits, but this combination is being replaced by difenacoum, brodifacoum, and bromadiolone, newer coagulants which are effective in single doses. A red squill formulation known as stabilized scilliroside has proved in both laboratory and field tests to be more effective than the older product known as fortified red squill. Attempts to increase the acceptability of norbormide by encapsulating it were unsuccessful; neither norbormide nor stabilized scilliroside have passed government requirements for effectiveness. Relatively new acute rodenticides include NK-15561 (used in Japan), phosacetim (use discontinued), UK-786 (laboratory-tested as toxic only to Norway rats), RH-787 (a vitamin antimetabolite also known as pyrin

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.

DEC topic and subject tags. They describe the documents, not what the program was. Each tag opens its evidence in the drawer.
Programs worth reading next, by topic, implementer, country and years. Similar by facets (topic, implementer, country, years) and, when available, description. It says the programs look alike, not how they are related in time. Source: catalog facets
