Disclosed is a rodenticide bait including: difenacoum in the form of trans-difenacoum of formula 3-(biphenyl-4-yl)-1 -(4-hydroxycoumarin-3-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene, in wherein carbons 1 and 3 of group 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene of the trans-difenacoum have the same absolute configuration; and an edible excipient for target rodent pests. The bait includes trans-difenacoum at a concentration above a minimum trans-difenacoum concentration lethal to female adults of the target rodents, but below a minimum trans-difenacoum concentration lethal to adult males of the target rodents, the minimum concentration lethal to female adults being less than the minimum concentration lethal to male adults. Also disclosed is a method for selectively controlling a population of target rodent pests.

A rodenticide compound comprising a calcium infused bait targeted for consumption by a specific rodent species. The compound causes rodents to ingest calcium at a lethal rate. Each food product is tailored to the usual diet of the targeted rodent species. The selected food product is infused with calcium, usually in the form of calcium carbonate, such that the calcium accounts for at least twenty percent of the combined weight of the selected food product and calcium compound.

A high protein (up to 40%) tetraploid oat variety is provided that is suitable for large scale oat production using standard farming practices. A tetraploid oat variety includes one or more of lodging resistance, shattering resistance, erect growth habit, and seeds similar to traditional cultivated hexaploid oat, A. sativa. The tetraploid oat variety of the invention can also include a stable fatty acid profile, high iron content, high folic acid content, or high free essential amino acid content. A tetraploid oat variety may be used as foundational seed in a plant breeding program for development of lines and varieties with high protein content. Oat products produced from the tetraploid oat variety of the invention are also included as well as resultant oat foodstuffs such as high protein granola bars, hot cereals food stuffs, cold cereal foodstuffs, snackbars, cookies, gluten-free products, snacks, muffins, pancake mix and the like.
