Abstract:

       Features of the occurrence of locusts and grasshoppers in China and other countries are summarized. In China, locust outbreaks are frequent in crop fields, and grasshoppers occur widely and often migrate into cities and between the borders of China and adjacent countries. The use of large quantities of chemical      pesticides to control locusts causes severe pollution to the environment and crops. Global progress in strategies and tactics of locust and grasshopper management is reviewed, including biological control, ecological control, chemical control and the application of information technology in the sustainable management of locusts and grasshoppers. Finally, the main tasks and objectives of a project supported by Special Fund for Agroscientific Research in the Public Interest “Sustainable Management System of Migratory Locusts and Grasshoppers” are introduced. We hope that this project may improve the ability to control locust and grasshopper plagues in our country. Future locust and grasshopper management should be supported by good facilities, sufficient finance and qualified staff, as well as integrated biological control, information system support and ecological control.
