THE EFFECT OF AN AUDIBLE BIRD SCARER ON THE PRESENCE OF REED COCKS (PARPHYRO PORPHYRO) IN RICE FIELDS

Year 2008, Volume: 23 Issue: 3, 152 - 153, 01.12.2008

Abstract

All over the world, birds cause extensive losses to agricultural crops. In order to protect these crops and to send away the birds, some different materilas and methods such as chemicals, treatments, colored lights, flash and audible scarers are used. It is possible to see many studies about chemical methods in the literatures, but there is not enough research on audible bird scarers. Therefore, an audible solar powered bird scarer was designed, manufactured and tested on the behaviour of reed cocks (Parphyro porphyro) which are pests and roosted near the rice fields (paddy) where they eat newly seeded rice, in this experimental investigation. The scarer was tested about two weeks during November, 2007. Alarm calls of reed cocks was selected for the test of the scarer. Alarm calls of reed cocks played through loudspeaker were seen effective in that they temporarily scared reed cocks. However, reed cocks no longer responded to these alarm calls after the period of 7 days. It is concluded that the present arrangement of scarer was seen inefficient.

Abstract

Dünya’nın her yerinde kuşlar, tarım ürünlerine büyük zararlar vermektedir. Bu ürünleri korumak ve kuşları alandan uzaklaştırmak için kimyasallar, renkli ve parlak ışıklar ve sesli kuş kovucu gibi değişik materyal ve yöntemler kullanılmaktadır. Literatürde, kimyasal metotlarla ilgili çok sayıda çalışmaya rastlamak mümkün olmakta ancak sesli kuş kovucularla ilgili yeterli çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu nedenle bu deneysel çalışmada, güneş enerjisiyle çalışan sesli bir kovucu tasarlanmış, üretilmiş ve çeltik tarlalarının yakınında tüneyip taze başakları yiyerek zarar veren saz horozları (Parphyro porphyro) üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Kuş kovucu, Kasım 2007’de iki hafta boyunca test edilmiştir. Kuş kovucu sesi olarak saz horozlarının alarm (tehlike ikaz) sesi seçilmiştir. Hoparlörden verilen saz horozu alarm sesinin, kısa süreliğine geçici olarak saz horozlarını korkutarak verimli olduğu görülmüştür. Ancak, saz horozlarının 7 günden daha uzun periyotta bu seslerden etkilenmediği anlaşılmıştır. Sonuç olarak bu düzenlemenin ve yöntemin verimli olmadığı görülmüştür
