Bulletin N96
2024Also available in:
Moroccan Locust (DMA) fledging and mating started in all Central Asia (CA) as well as egg-laying mainly in the southern parts. DMA hopper development continued in Azerbaijan, Georgia and the Russian Federation. The DMA situation was classified as cautious in most countries where it is present, but as dangerous in Kyrgyzstan due to outbreaks in some southern districts. Around mid-May, swarm flights, including across borders, were reported by Afghanistan and Tajikistan, where additional control operations were carried out. Italian Locust (CIT) hatching started and hopper development continued in most Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) countries. Migratory Locust (LMI) hatching was reported in Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. During the forecast period, the DMA lifecycle will come to an end in CA, but mating and egg-laying will happen in Caucasus and the Russian Federation. CIT hopper development will continue in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, the Russian Federation and northern regions of Kazakhstan. CIT fledging will occur in other regions of Kazakhstan, and also in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. LMI hopper development will continue in Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. In total, 1 049 172 hectares (ha) have been treated in CCA from the beginning of the 2024 campaign until the end of May, which is 35 percent higher compared to the same period in 2023 (778 220 ha). -

Moroccan Locust (DMA) fledging, mating and egg-laying started in southern parts of Central Asia. DMA hopper development continued in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russian Federation. Italian Locust (CIT) hatching and hopper development continued in Georgia and in Central Asian (CA) countries. Migratory Locust (LMI) hatching started in Kazakhstan, Russian Federation and Uzbekistan. DMA swarm flights including across borders were reported in the southern part of CA. The situation with DMA was critical in Tajikistan, while it was classified as caution for both DMA and CIT in most other countries. During the forecast period, DMA breeding will continue and its lifecycle will come to the end while CIT hopper development will continue in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Russian Federation and northern regions of Kazakhstan. LMI hopper development will continue in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Russian Federation and Uzbekistan. CIT fledging will occur in other regions of Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. In total, 427 379 hectares (ha) have been treated in CCA from the beginning of the 2022 campaign to the end of May, which is 35 percent lower compared to the same period in 2021 (665 000 ha). -

Also available in:
Moroccan Locust (DMA) hopper development was in progress in Central Asia (CA) and in Azerbaijan. In Uzbekistan, dense hopper bands formed in the south. Italian Locust (CIT) hatching started in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. During the forecast period, DMA hatching will start in Georgia, Armenia and the Russian Federation and fledging and mating will occur in the southern CA countries. CIT hatching will start in Georgia, Kazakhstan, Russian Federation and probably in Armenia. Migratory Locust (LMI) hatching may start in Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan at the end of the forecast period. In total, almost 185 000 ha were treated in CCA countries since the beginning of the campaign.

2025Also available in:
The life cycles of the three main locust species in Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) - the Moroccan Locust (DMA), Italian Locust (CIT) and Asian Migratory Locust (LMI) - concluded in late summer to early autumn. Eggs will stay in the soil in embryonic diapause, until they hatch in spring. DMA hatching may start from end of February/early March in the southern parts of Central Asia (Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan). No hatching of any other species is expected in CCA till end of March. -

2023Also available in:
Moroccan Locust (DMA) natural cycle completed in all Caucasus and Central Asian (CCA) countries while mating and egg-laying continued in the Russian Federation. The Italian Locust (CIT) and the Asian Migratory Locust (LMI) started mating and egg-laying in CCA. The situation with DMA was considered dangerous only in the north Caucasus Federal District of the Russian Federation. It was classified as caution for CIT in Georgia and Kyrgyzstan, as well as for CIT and LMI in Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. It became calm for other species or in the other countries. Summer surveys of adults and egg-laying sites continued in all countries. Control operations in July covered 513 121 hectares (ha) in CCA and in total 2 590 326 ha since the beginning of the 2023 campaign, which is 37% higher than during the last two campaigns (1 891 926 ha in 2022 and 1 898 300 ha in 2021). During the forecast period, DMA life cycle will be completed in the Russian Federation and CIT life cycle will come to an end in Caucasus, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. CIT and LMI mating and egg-laying will continue in Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation.
