Due to slightly delayed locust hatching in Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA), in addition to Afghanistan, only three other countries started control operations. Hence, a total of 135 000 ha were treated in April against Moroccan Locust (DMA) hopper bands in Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. DMA hopper development will continue in those countries and in Kazakhstan, followed by fledging before the end of the forecast period. Italian Locust (CIT) hopper development will continue in Georgia. CIT and Migratory Locust (LMI) hatching will start in May.
