Will the Locust Plague in India and Pakistan invade our country? What do scientists say?

There may be a locust plague on the India-Pakistani border, whether it will spread to our country.

1. According to the ** report, Jiemian News published "How did the locust plague that ate the food of hundreds of millions of people come about?" The article describes in detail the causes and consequences of this wave of locust plagues. The main culprit of the disaster is the desert locust, a locust found mainly in the hot deserts of North Africa, the Middle East and Southwest Asia.

In times of continuous drought and lack of food, the desert locust will switch from solitary to social state; Continuous rainfall and humid weather provide ideal conditions for desert locusts to reproduce.

2. The locust plague that broke out in East Africa has now spread to Pakistan and India, and is about to reach China. Why? Locusts are a very harmful pest to crops, with a strong reproductive ability, the number of eggs laid by a single locust is about 80-120, and the larvae can become adults after 20 days of growth, so the harm of locust plague is very serious for agricultural countries.

3. The locust plague started in East Africa, and under the influence of the monsoon current, the locust plague gradually flew to Pakistan and India, but now it is difficult to spread to China. First of all, locusts are affected by the topography, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is blocked by the border between India and China, so locusts cannot climb such high mountain ranges. Second, on the way from India to China, where people are inaccessible, locusts are likely to starve to death because they don't have enough food.

Thirdly, when the locust swarm arrives in Pakistan, it is close to the egg-laying period, and the life span of the locusts is very short, only about three months, and the locusts during the egg-laying period do not fly very fast, and it is likely that they will die after laying eggs in India and Pakistan. So at present, the locust plague has not spread to China.

4. However, after the locusts lay eggs, there may be a new round of locust plagues, and the number of locusts will increase dozens of times. Although technology has been very developed today, there are still serious deficiencies in the management of locust plagues. The most common way is to spray pesticides, but spraying pesticides has a very serious consequence of contaminating water sources or agricultural areas.

Secondly, because the locusts fly too fast and there is no trajectory to be traced in their flight direction, it is difficult to prevent them in advance. The best way to prevent this is to find the locust swarm's spawning grounds after a locust plague and eradicate them from the egg stage.

5. Although this locust plague will not spread to China to a large extent, we still have to take defensive measures to prevent the next locust plague from breaking out, after all, no one can accurately judge where the locust plague will go.

Recently, many places in northern IndiaA large number of locusts invaded, and crops were damaged wherever the locusts went。On 12 July, the locust army arrived in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, India, and many places were lost to the light of day due to the locust infestation.

On the 11th, a large number of locusts also attacked a prison in Uttar Pradesh, where about 1,700 prisoners struck iron tools to drive away the overwhelming locusts. In Haryana, dense locusts rustle and rustle on the leaves to nibble on crops.

India's locust plague will not spread to China, because the geographical location is relatively far, and the temperature of India's locusts cannot be suitable after arriving in China, and finally it will not reach China.

It should not, because China is very advanced in the prevention and control of this kind of disaster.

I don't think so, because there is Mount Everest in the way, so it is not easy for them to reach China.

India and Pakistan are suffering from the locust plague in East Africa, which poses little threat to China at the moment. We have a natural barrier, the Himalayas, which can block the entry of locusts.

The locust plague will not invade China, because the climate and environment are different, and the distance between the two is relatively far, so even if there is a locust plague, we have a way to deal with it.

Locusts in East Africa have attacked many parts of the globe and are currently attacking India and Pakistan. Although China and Pakistan are blocked by a high mountain, the possibility of invading China will be much smaller, but it cannot be ignored.

If someone is plagued by locusts in India, they will invade China, because locusts also have their routes, and they will continue to pass through China in the process of migration, bringing immeasurable disasters to China.
