Locusts in CCA
General Situation during March 2019
Forecast until mid-May 2019
Moroccan Locust (DMA) hatching started later than last year in Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan (and probably Turkmenistan), as a result of a cool and wet weather in early spring. In Kyrgyzstan, DMA hatching started in early April, similar to last year. 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).
