Locust disasters are prone to occur in hot weather season, and locusts are prone to occur in areas such as forests and low-lying grasslands. The adults of locusts mainly feed on crops, and need a lot of food to meet the development and growth of adults, which will cause great economic losses to agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry. Locusts have no habit of clustering and migration, and are generally scattered in fields and grasses.

1. Which places are prone to locusts?

1. Locust disasters are more likely to occur when the weather is hot and dry, especially when the dry weather comes. Generally, locusts are more likely to occur in forests, low-lying grasslands and other areas. The arid environment has many benefits for the reproduction, growth and development of locusts. Locusts can lay eggs in soil, because the soil is relatively solid, with water content of 10%-20%, which is more suitable for locusts to lay eggs.

2. Adults mainly feed on crops, and locusts have more supplementary nutrition in the adult stage. They eat a lot of leaves and flower buds of plants with chewing mouthparts, resulting in nicks and holes. In severe cases, it will eat a large area of plant leaves and flower buds, causing huge economic losses to agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry.

3. Locusts have no habit of clustering and migration, and often live in one place, generally scattered in fields and grass. Grasshoppers mainly eat gramineous plants, so they will also do some harm to rice and leguminous crops.

Second, how to control locusts

1, when the plague of locusts comes, the planting of rice, barley and corn can be reduced. Which locusts like to eat, change into fruit trees, etc. So that locusts won't eat more difficult food, but it can't fundamentally prevent locusts.

2. Controlling locusts can also be solved from the aspect of natural enemies. When locusts come, they can drive chickens and ducks into farmland, and they can also release bees, frogs and lizards.

3. Locusts also have favorite habitats. They generally like to live on low-lying grasslands. When locusts come, low-lying areas can be transformed into fish ponds and pond landscapes to prevent locusts.

There are many chemical control methods. One is ground spraying, such as drone spraying; Or spraying 2.5% pyrethroid oil, these two methods can effectively solve the locust plague.
