ResumoAbstract The effective swath width made by a Cessna 185 aircraft dropping carrot baits, as practised in normal aerial poisoning operations, was found to be approximately 25 m. The rate of application on 20 m2 plots within this effective swath was found to vary between nil and seven times the scheduled 12.5 kg/ha. Mean application rates per total swath width varied between 17.3 and 23.9 kg/ha. An improvement in bait distribution is possible using bait of more even size and shape and by field assessments of swath width and density.
