What can be done if the locust plague in India is under control but is likely to return?

To control locust plagues, you need to get rid of locusts when they are still young, otherwise they will continue to mate once they have grown, leaving eggs and flying to another place, which will be very difficult to eliminate.

Before the locust plague occurs, we must take prevention and control measures, eliminate locust eggs in a timely manner, and do a good job of protective belts.

First of all, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the living habits and growth process of locusts, and it is best to eliminate locusts when they are still larvae, and secondly, after the eradication, carefully check whether there are any locust eggs left to be eliminated again.

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.

At present, the locust has reached India and Pakistan, one step away from China. There are Indian scholars**, which will cause a 30 to 50 percent reduction in India's food production.

And India is a big exporter and is the largest exporter of rice. If food production is reduced by 30 to 50 percent, self-sufficiency cannot be maintained and even imports are required.

Locusts themselves are extremely destructive pests, and they are extremely reproductive, and now there are so many locusts that they must have had a great impact on India and damaged a lot of food.

The biggest destructive force of the locust plague is manifested in the grain in the field, India is already poor, and now the locust plague is raging, and India has no harvest.

At present, due to the impact of the locust plague, most of the wheat that is being pumped in India has been gnawed, and it is expected that this year's grain output will be greatly reduced.

It has caused a lot of disasters in India, and many fields in India have been destroyed by locusts, affecting people's lives.

In 1937, the Army National Guard attempted to quell a locust plague across Colorado using flamethrowers. But the flamethrower didn't play much of a role. The locusts adapted easily to the flames and continued to devour farmland.

More than 80 years later, the locust swarm still cannot be contained. Some time earlier, the United Nations announced that desert locusts, the most devastating of the locusts, had attacked East Africa and that their numbers could increase by as much as 500 times in the coming months.

Kenya has not faced such a serious locust threat in nearly 70 years. <>

The locust is a voracious creature that can spread over 460 square miles of land, and has been a scourge for thousands of years, at least in the eyes of humans. Rick Overson, research coordinator for the Global Locust Initiative at Arizona State University, once said, "The best thing humanity can do today is to try to find locust formation sites before a large-scale locust outbreak occurs, and eventually consume large quantities of crops, which are often food for rural dwellers."

Rick Overson explained that when a locust outbreak begins, our general strategy is usually to drop millions of litres of chemical pesticides into that area, which is harmful to the environment and human health.

But pinpointing exactly where locusts begin to congregate can be daunting, especially desert locusts in Africa and adjacent regions, where their habitat is in remote, mostly uninhabited areas, covering an area of about 16 million square kilometers, or more than 6 million square miles. These creatures usually live solitary lives, however, when the right environmental conditions arise (such as after a good rainy season), these creatures are strongly attracted to each other, change color, and often grow longer wings and become stronger, after which they become a fearsome group. <>

But in fact, locusts can easily devour each other, and when the locusts start to swarm and the food starts to disappear, the locusts will start to devour each other, that is, once the resources are limited, they will attack each other. Although locust swarms affect about 1 in 10 people on the planet, we are clearly underfunded for locust swarm research. In part, this is because locusts exist in boom and bust cycles, so in the years between outbreaks, or sometimes decades, we may not have much research interest.

What's more, some experts point out that locust swarms usually do not reach developed countries, so most of them affect the poor, and developed countries have no interest in studying locust plagues. <>

We are now trying to change the situation that we are the victims of locusts, but there is really no good way to solve it.

Locusts are very reproductive, have a strong ability to migrate, and have a wide range of diets, eating almost any plant, so strong survival makes it difficult to be eliminated.

Because locusts are tenacious and the number of races is very large.

Because the locusts are very strong and fast to reproduce, and their numbers are very huge, they cannot be eliminated.

The locust plague in India broke out again, because the locusts were extremely numerous, and in India, they laid their own larvae, so now these locusts have come out again, and it is not easy to get rid of them at all.

Pesticides can be exported in large quantities.

I caught the net and bought it for me a large number of purchases.

India claims to have eliminated the locust plague, but now a bigger disaster is still lurking, and the bigger disaster is the new crown epidemic that affected this year, which is actually the biggest disaster, and there is no solution so far.

The first thing that comes to mind about India is that it has a large population, strict racial and surname hierarchies, environmental sanitation problems, and the new crown has ravaged the world this year, in addition to the United States, which is more "high-profile", in fact, the new crown epidemic in India is more worrying, environmental sanitation cannot keep up, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and the new crown has taken away all the poor families.

I think the biggest disaster is the epidemic, their epidemic is almost uncontrollable, I hope their ** can work hard to manage it.

Because India sent troops to spray pesticides and other methods to fight the locusts at that time, but the World Health Organization did not recognize their contributions, because several heavy rains during the period washed away the eggs and drowned the root cause, and India only played an auxiliary role.

Some people say that India is all due to the fact that the locust plague in Africa was eliminated overnight, because India took many measures to eradicate this locust, and the measures were particularly effective, and the heavy rains at that time also played a supporting role.

Not entirely India's credit, but also us Chinese who helped him to eradicate the locust plague. India also has a lot of credit, so everyone has a share of the credit. Help each other to be better.

Regarding the origin of human civilization, after research, some experts pointed out that the ancestors of human beings came from Africa, which is the origin of civilization. However, with the development of the times, Africa, both economically and culturally, seems to have stagnated and has little color, while other continents are rapidly embarking on the path of modernization.
