The demography of the Egyptian Goose, its impacts on cereal crop agriculture on the Agulhas Plain, Western Cape, South Africa and the measures to mitigate damage to crops by geese
Abstract
dc:description.abstractMany southern African crop farmers regard the Eyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) as a widespread and major agricultural pest. Cereal crop farmers on the Agulhas Plain in the Western Cape province of South Africa are concerned that populations of Egyptian Geese have increased since the early 1990s, and are causing serious damage to their crops.
