Laboratory evaluation of a methyl anthranilate bead formulation on mallard feeding behavior

We applied methyl anthranilate (MA) bead formulation coded JR930413 to bottom sediment in a simulated pond setting to evaluate its repellency to captive mallards (Anas platyrhynchos). We applied JR930413 at a rate of 21.7 kg/ha or 7$\text{bead}/\text{cm}^{2}$to bottom sediment. Methyl anthranialte b...

Description
Summary:We applied methyl anthranilate (MA) bead formulation coded JR930413 to bottom sediment in a simulated pond setting to evaluate its repellency to captive mallards (Anas platyrhynchos). We applied JR930413 at a rate of 21.7 kg/ha or 7$\text{bead}/\text{cm}^{2}$to bottom sediment. Methyl anthranialte bead formulation JR930413 was effective in reducing time mallards spent in pools (P ≤ 0.01). Application of JR930413 to contaminated waterfowl feeding areas at 21.7 kg/ha could reduce feeding and mortality and warrants further testing in the field.
