Descripción
The practical guide contains detailed information on the biology, ecology and behaviour of three species of gregarious locusts in Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) – the Italian locust Calliptamus italicus (L., 1758), the Moroccan locust Dociostaurus maroccanus (Thunberg, 1815) and the Asian migratory locust Locusta migratoria migratoria (L., 1758). It was prepared within the framework of the interregional and multilateral “Programme to improve national and regional locust management in CCA”, which has been implemented under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) since 2011 to the benefit of ten countries : Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. This guide provides comprehensive yet accessible information intended not only for locust control and plant protection specialists in CCA countries, but also for scientists, students and the widest circle of readers.
