The number of rodents has increased in Crimea. The pests actively inhabit forest belts, roadsides, uncultivated lands and winter crops, the press service of the republican Rosselkhozcenter reports.
Mice and voles pose a serious threat to agricultural crops. Rodents are characterized by high fecundity and harm plants. In some fields the damage can reach 35-40% of winter wheat grain.
