Table 1.
Pest rodent abundance in barley fields (2019 and 2020 cropping seasons).
Table 2.
Relative abundance and trap success of rodent pests at different growth stages of barley crop during 2019 and 2020 cropping seasons (A.ab = A. abyssinicus, M.na = M. natalensis, A.de = A. dembeensis, M.mu = M. musculus, L.si = L. simensis, Tra.su = trap success, Re.ab = relative abundance, C.F1 = crop field near the forest and CF2 = crop field away from the forest).
Table 3.
Pest damage on different stages of barley crop at the two cropping sites in 2019 and 2020 cropping years (CF1A, B = Crop field near the forest, CF2A, B = crop field away from the forest).
Table 4.
Estimated pre-harvest yield loss of barley crop (CF1A, B = crop fields near the forest, CF2A,B = crop fields away from the forest).
