Moroccan Locust (DMA) hopper development was in progress in Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation while it was coming to an end in Azerbaijan and Georgia as well as in southern Central Asian (CA) countries where fledging ‑ and even mating ‑ had already started. Cross-border movements of adult groups were reported. During the forecast period, DMA breeding will generalize in all those countries and the species will start disappearing in southern CA. Italian Locust (CIT) hatching occurred and hopper development was in progress in all countries except Azerbaijan and Afghanistan, where it was not reported as a pest. Migratory Locust (LMI) hatching started in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. For both CIT and LMI, fledging will start during the forecast period. Since the beginning of the national campaigns, more than 1 442 000 ha have been treated mainly against DMA hopper bands.
