Locusts in Caucasus and Central Asia

N. 59 Winter 2018/19

Published: 28/02/2019

Natural cycles of the three locust species – Italian Locust (CIT), Migratory Locust (LMI) and Moroccan Locust (DMA) ended in late summer/early autumn in all countries with eggs laid in the soil, where they overwinter (embryonic diapause).  During the forecast period, no development is expected as no hatching will occur.
