    Locusts in Caucasus and Central Asia
    Bulletin N90
    2023
    Also available in:

    Moroccan Locust (DMA) lifecycle came to an end in most parts of Central Asia (CA); fledging, mating and egg-laying continued in some parts as well as in Caucasus. Due to increased number of DMA populations and large spread of adults in the south of the Russian Federation, the situation there was considered as dangerous. Italian Locust (CIT) fledging started in CA and its hopper development continued in Caucasus and the Russian Federation. Migratory Locust (LMI) hatching and hopper development continued in Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. In the forecast period, DMA lifecycle will come to an end everywhere while CIT hopper development will continue in Caucasus, the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan. LMI hopper development will continue in northern and western regions of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation while fledging will occur in other regions. Since the start of the campaign and till the end of the reporting period, a total of 2 077 205 hectares (ha) have been treated in all Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA), which is about 30% higher as compared to 2022 (1 478 345 ha at the same period). This is due to an increase of infestations in CA while they are decreasing in Caucasus.

    Also 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).
