During the forecast period, DMA hopper development will continue in the above five countries while hatching will start in Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation as well as in Azerbaijan and Georgia. Italian Locust (CIT) hatching may start by the end of the forecast period in some Caucasian and Central Asian countries. So far, only 1 500 ha have been treated against DMA in Uzbekistan (compared to 57 000 ha treated by the end of March  2018).
