The situation further deteriorated in Central Asian countries after hatching of the Italian and Migratory locusts. In Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and probably Afghanistan and Turkmenistan, Moroccan Locust (DMA) fledging occurred while hopper development continued in Kyrgyzstan. Italian Locust (CIT) hopper bands formed in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Russia and control operations were required in those countries as well as in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan against Migratory Locust (LMI) hoppers. Drying out of the vegetation will result in more DMA flights and likely cross-border movements of adult populations. Due to persistence of unsuitable weather conditions, the situation remained calm in Caucasus except in Azerbaijan where limited treatments were carried out.
