The locust situation was calm in September in all CCA countries for the second consecutive month due to the completion of the life cycles of the three main locust pests. No control operations were carried out, except in Armenia in early September. In the countries where locust populations were still present, DMA egg-laying ended in Azerbaijan, CIT populations were laying eggs in Armenia and LMI adults were disappearing in Kazakhstan. No further locust activity is expected until next year. Autumn egg-bed surveys should be completed in almost all CCA countries by mid-November.
