locust management

Locust management involves monitoring and controlling swarms of these insects to prevent crop destruction. Strategies include early detection through surveillance, using pesticides carefully to target groups without harming the environment, and implementing biological controls like natural predators. Agricultural practices such as crop diversification and creating physical barriers can reduce locust breeding sites. Coordinated efforts among farmers, governments, and international agencies are essential to predict outbreaks and respond promptly, minimizing economic and food security impacts. Overall, effective locust management combines scientific monitoring, environmentally responsible methods, and collaborative action to protect livelihoods and prevent large-scale agricultural damage.
