CHANCES OF LOCUST BUILD UP REMOTE
India continues
to be free from any gregarious locust activity due to extreme
hot weather conditions prevailing in the North West region. However,
Intensive surveys are being undertaken to detect any locust build
up in the Scheduled Desert area of Rajasthan and part of Gujarat.
According to
the locust situation bulletin of the Directorate of Plant Protection,
Quarantine & Storage of the Agriculture. At present ecological
conditions are not favourable for locust breeding in the Scheduled
Desert Area of the country. Hence the chances of locust build
up in the near future are very remote.
