| Experiments were carried out during two successive years 2017 and 2018 in Qalubia (Kaha City-Tokh district) and Fayoum (Tamia district) Governorates. The aim was to study the correlation between the Field Nile Rat Arvicanthis niloticus (Desmart) population density and its active burrows per 100 m., in and around the field both and its damage to each oftomato, green pepper (Rumi), peas and squash in February and March. Results proved that the Field Nile Rat, Arvicanthis niloticus (Desmart) damage percentage, population density and number of the active burrowsper 100 m. in and around the field differs from crop to crop, from Governorate to Governorate and from month t | ||||
