When did the locust plague begin to control the millennium old plague in history?

Historically, it began in 1953, after the founding of New China, a lot of manpower and material resources were invested, and after more than ten years of development, it was only around 1968 that the locust plague was controlled.

Locusts are a kind of pests, often eat crops, after the founding of New China invented pesticides, the number of locusts has been greatly reduced, and the introduction of locust microspores, reduced the ability of locusts to reproduce, control the locust plague.

In 1952, Dr. Ma Shijun, who had just returned from studying abroad, received the first scientific research task given to him by the state - to solve the locust plague that had plagued Middle-earth for thousands of years. Dr. Ma Shijun and his assistants went deep into Inner Mongolia and Shandong, where the locust plague broke out at that time, and investigated and studied the characteristics of the natural environment in the locust-stricken areas, the population and population dynamics of locusts, as well as the migration and spread behavior.

At that time, developed countries such as Europe, the United States, and the Soviet Union mostly used pesticides in measures to control locusts and mosquitoes, while China was sanctioned by the West and there was a lack of pesticide production enterprises in China.

The locust plague was controlled around 1952, the locust plague was very severe, especially in ancient times, the peasants were dependent on the sky for food, once the locust plague occurred this year, there would be no harvest, many people would starve to death, the locust plague lasted until Dr. Ma Shijun returned from overseas in 1952, when the country gave Ma Shijun a character is to eliminate the locust plague.

In ancient times, locusts mostly appeared after the drought, and the drought was when the locusts were crazy to lay eggs, and after the drought, a large amount of rain would fall, and then the eggs would hatch, and then there would be many, many locusts, so the ancients said that there would be locust disasters after the drought, but the ancients were not very advanced in science and technology, and they could only watch the crops being eaten by locusts, and the imperial court at that time had no choice.

Until after the founding of the People's Republic of China, about 1952, Dr. Ma Shijun returned from studying abroad, and the state gave him a task to control locusts, Ma Shijun took a group of people to Inner Mongolia and Shandong Province, where the locust disaster was serious.

At that time, the scientists looked through a lot of information, and there was a book that recorded that "locusts came from the sea", and then they deduced whether the locusts would fly from the other side of the sea, so a group of scientists went to the northeast, and they went to the northeast and found that there are many places in the northeast that are barren, including large swamps, these swamps are the nests of locusts, and when there is a drought, the locusts lay eggs in large numbers, and when it rains, the swamps become an excellent place for locusts to develop.

Later, they found that the bottom of these swamps was actually black soil, and the nutrient content of the black soil was very high, and it was very fertile land, so the state decided to reclaim the old nests of locusts, so that they could not only use this fertile soil, but also eliminate locusts.

It was controlled in 1952, and there was a doctoral stage when I returned to China, and the task given by the state was to study the living habits of locusts, and finally it was completely controlled.

According to the record in the "Law of Catching Locusts", the main method is to chase the locusts in all directions with bamboo poles to support the white cloth in a downwind manner, drive the locusts together, and concentrate on the fighting, which is also the white-knuckle war that arose during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period! The second method is the burial method, which has a very good effect, one by one, but the difficulty of operation is also high, once the burial is shallow, the locusts can also drill out on their own. In the face of the locust plague, the ancients used fire to lure and burn locusts, but this is only a symptomatic but not a cure, although the locust plague can be controlled at that time, but a few years later the locusts will be overwhelming, this situation has continued until the birth of new China after the production of pesticides to make the locust plague effectively controlled!

During the Qing Dynasty, there were a lot of medicines at that time, which could help solve such problems.

In recent decades, with the progress of science, human beings have discovered many drugs when harvesting grain, which can kill pests and locusts.

1. There was a time during the Tang Taizong period, but Tang Taizong personally chewed locusts when he was exploring the disaster.

2. During the Chongzhen period of the late Ming Dynasty, there was a drought and locust plague in Shaanxi, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng joined the rebel army at this time 3. The White Lotus Rebellion in the Qing Dynasty was also because of the locust plague.

In the Staropol region of southern Russia, about 267 000 hectares of pastures and arable land were infested by locusts.

China's Liaoning Province Saw the First Locust Plague in a Year of Drought for the First Time in a Century The western states of Nevada, Utah, and Idaho were all plagued by locust plagues, and the disaster in Idaho was the worst since World War II.

Millions of locusts swarmed to Eilat, Israel's Red Sea city. Wait.

Listen to the old man tell me that there was also a locust plague in China a few decades ago.

Tang Xuanzong was the most famous during the first century.
