The locusts are already destroying the crops in Oddnepryshchina, Black Sea Region and Zaporozhye. At the same time, pests fly quickly and get the new Ukrainian regions.
The invasion of locusts is officially registered in Zaporizhzhya, Kherson, Odessa and Dnipropetrovsk regions, but other regions of Ukraine may be under the threat. These insects grow rapidly and can fly up to 100 km per day, and if the flock is flying with air, then more.
Both farmers and ordinary citizens are concerned about the yield, as a lot of up to 80 million individuals can eat nearly 35 thousand people eat each day.
What are the causes of aggression
As mentioned in the state district service, this year’s high temperature and dry weather has led to mass reproduction and an increase in the number of this dangerous pest.
In addition, the best environment for its reproduction is flood meadows and deltes of large rivers.
Also, the reservoirs of locusts are not lands, strings and roads with wormwood and spraying, multi -grass, wide -scattered plants along with irrigation canals, clearing and forest edges, fields where agricultural measures are not carried out.
Thus, the perfect conditions were created in the south of Ukraine, because the destruction of the Kakhovsky Reservoir, on the site where shrubs grew, and a significant portion of the lands, the cultivation to stop due to hate.
In Zaporozhye – an Egypt’s insect, in the Kherson region – Italian
Officially, the invasion of locusts was recorded in the southern and eastern parts of Ukraine, especially in the territory of Zaporizhzhya, Kherson, Kharkov and other regions. In these areas, a special plant protection regimen was introduced for localization and pest destruction.
The first foci were discovered in Zaporozhye and the Kherson region, and literally several days reported to pest recognition in the regions of Dnipropetrovsk, Odessa and Kharkov. Also, individual individuals were found in Vinnitsa.
This year, Ukraine has been attacked at the same time two types of locusts: the foci of Egypt locusts have been found in the Zaporizhzhya region, and Italian in the Kherson region.
How many days before Lviv?
If the desirable conditions are preserved, the raid size may increase. In a few days, insects can reach different parts of Ukraine, in particular Kiev region, Kirovograd region, Cherkschina, Poltava, Donetskiy, a doctor of biological science, the head of the Dnepropetrovsk agrarian department and university in the economy, Roman Novitsky said for telegraf.
Western regions and neighboring countries, in particular Moldova, Romania, Poland, are also threatened with a fair wind. The locust will eat almost any plants, but mainly prefers cereals: corn, wheat, millet, sorghum, as well as wild herbs such as reeds and wheat.
How to deal with a pest
Economic consequences from locusts are catastrophic. The last major growth in West Africa costs more than $ 450 million for extermination and has caused losses of $ 2.5 billion in the form of harvest. At the same time, the response value rose 100 times – from $ 1 million to $ 100 million in just 14 months.
State District Service appealed to Ukrainians and asked, if locust’s foci were discovered State register of agricultural pesticides and chemistry, allowed for use in Ukrainewith the mandatory compliance with the regulations of their application.
