dc.descriptionMoroccan Locust (DMA) lifecycle mostly came to an end in the southern parts of Central Asia (CA); fledging, mating and egg-laying continued in other parts as well as in Caucasus and the Russian Federation. Italian Locust (CIT) fledging started in southern CA while hopper development continued in other parts of CA, Caucasus and the Russian Federation. Migratory Locust (LMI) hatching and hopper development continued in Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. In July, DMA lifecycle will come to an end everywhere, while CIT will start fledging and mating in Caucasus, the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan. LMI hopper development will continue in the northern and western regions of Kazakhstan and in the Russian Federation while fledgling will occur in other regions. Overall trend of increasing infestations and hence treatment continued in five out of six Central Asian countries (all except Tajikistan) and the Russian Federation, while the tendency is inverted in Caucasus. A total of 3 535 586  hectares (ha) have been treated since the start of the campaign in all Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) countries, which is 18.6% higher than the same period of 2024 (2 980 586 ha).
