Abstract
Many 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.
