Hot and dry weather conditions prevailed throughout the region. Moroccan Locust (DMA) life cycle came to an end in southern Central Asian (CA) countries and probably also in Azerbaijan while breeding was in progress in Kazakhstan and Russia. Italian Locust (CIT) fledging started in Russia and occurred in Armenia while mating started in Georgia, in Uzbekistan and probably in Kazakhstan; its natural disappearance started in Tajikistan. Migratory Locust (LMI) fledging started in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Russia. DMA adult populations will eventually disappear at the beginning of the forecast period. CIT life cycle will progressively come to an end from southern to northern countries. LMI adult populations may be present throughout the forecast period. In July, at least 365 000 ha (missing data) were treated in CCA countries, for a total of more 3.6 million ha since the start of the campaign.
