How can Acridid Outbreaks be Managed in Dryland Agricultural Landscapes?

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASEN2,volume 73))

Abstract

This study considers changes occurring in the composition of dominant species and populations of locusts and grasshoppers in fallow lands in various stages of succession in northern Kazakhstan. In response to these changes, approaches to optimize the system of locust pest management are discussed. In particular, the application of barrier treatments using an insect growth regulator – diflubenzuron (Dimilin) – is considered.
