The locust situation improved in June in southern Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA), where control operations were almost completed but deteriorated in the north, in particular in Kazakhstan and in the Russian Federation, where more than 3 million ha were treated during the month. Hopper development of the three locust pests was still in progress in northern CA while the life cycle of the Moroccan Locust (DMA) came to an end or was almost completed in southern CCA. More countries than in May considered that at least caution was required, mainly concerning the Italian Locust (CIT).
