There are several factors at play: not the same crops, and castor oil in addition ...
Therefore, in all rigor, impossible to affirm ... We can at most have a vague presumption!
We can think that the "legumes + castor" cocktail is less favorable to mole rats. He probably is, given what has been said about his "fondness" for large roots and tubers, especially if they store inulin.
It is still necessary to verify that this observation is repeated!
It may just be a coincidence [coincidence means, in good French, "these two things happened at the same time, without there being a link!" - "put castor" and "observed that there are no mole rats", it may be a coincidence ...
To illustrate this notion, an example - which I don't know if it had been invented for a good cause, given by a (good) agro-stat teacher more than 40 years ago: "in such a district of Paris, there are significantly more teachers than in the others "," it is also the district where there are the most alcoholics! " ; "one can think that there is no direct link, it is thus a priori a coincidence"; to remember therefore: two facts objectively observed and statistically measured may be only a coincidence - to assert that one leads to the other is then a pure fantasy - but how many there are among gardeners? coincidences like this?]
