| Description |
The rodenticidal efficacies of ammonium or sodium arsenite and arsenious oxide have been studied
by in vitro chemical reduction of magnesium ammonium arsenate (MAA), a by-product of fertilizer
industry. It was observed that the reduced products obtained by sulphur dioxide and sodium
sulphite methods showed 100% mortality as compared to 86% and 37% by MAA and arsenious
oxide of commercial grade respectively against roof rats 1 Rattus rattus), whereas no mortality was
obtained with ammonium arsenite against the test rodents. The dose required to kill all the roof
rats by reduced products ranged from 71 to 196 mil/kg body weight whereas partial mortality was
observed with similar dosage when the test species was Rattus norvegicus (albino), MAA toxicity to
roof rats was improved when it was converted by sulphur dioxide and sodium sulphite methods in
vitro than in vivo.
