DocumentLocusts in Caucasus and Central Asia
Bulletin N99
2024Also available in:
The locust control campaign was completed in all countries by the end of the month. The locust situation was considered as calm in August, except in some areas of the Russian Federation where it was classified as caution due to flying adults of Italian (CIT) and Asian Migratory Locusts (LMI). Last treatments of 2024 were carried out on 35 554 ha in a few Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) countries. In total, control operations covered 4 263 652 hectares (ha) in 2024 in CCA. The overall treated area increased by about 60% compared to the previous year (4.3 million ha against 2.7 million ha), mainly due to an increase of infestations in the following three countries: Kazakhstan (93%), Kyrgyzstan (80%) and the Russian Federation (42%). Infested and treated areas generally decreased in the Caucasus region while they were close to 2023 for the other CCA countries. During the forecast period, CIT and LMI natural life cycles will come to an end and most of the countries will start or continue autumn surveys for locust egg-pods. -

Mass hatching of the Moroccan Locust (DMA) started in the three southern Central Asia (CA) countries in March mainly, during the second decade in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and the third decade in Afghanistan. No hatching was reported elsewhere. During the forecast period, DMA hopper development will continue in the above mentioned countries while hatching will begin in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, the Russian Federation, as well as in Azerbaijan and Georgia. Italian Locust (CIT) hatching may start in the southern CA countries at the end of the forecast period. Asian Migratory Locust (LMI) hatching is not expected in April. In March, 8616 hectares (ha) were treated against DMA in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, which is three times lower compared to last year (25 720 ha in 2023). -

2024Also available in:
Moroccan Locust (DMA) natural cycle completed in Azerbaijan and in all Central Asian (CA) countries while mating and egg-laying continued in Georgia and the Russian Federation. Italian Locust (CIT) started fledging and mating in Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA). Asian Migratory Locust (LMI) fledging and mating started in most parts of Kazakhstan and Russian Federation, while its hopper development continued in Kostanay region of Kazakhstan. The situation with DMA was considered caution in the North Caucasus Federal District of the Russian Federation and in Georgia. Similar caution was considered for CIT in Georgia and Kyrgyzstan, as well as for CIT and LMI in Kazakhstan. A threat situation was mentioned in the Russian Federation as the movements of swarms of these two species, which started in some parts, could further threaten the crops. The situation became calm for other species and elsewhere. Countries continued summer surveys of adults and egg-laying sites. Overall, 1 117 352 hectares (ha) were treated in July, for a total of 4 087 435 ha since the start of campaign in CCA, which is 58% higher than in 2023 at the same period (2 590 326 ha). In the forecasted period, DMA life cycle will be completed in all areas, as well as for CIT in Caucasus and in the southern part of CA. CIT and LMI mating and egg-laying will continue in Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation.
