Natural cycles of the three locust species – Italian Locust (CIT), Migratory Locust (LMI) and Moroccan Locust (DMA) ended in late summer/early autumn in all countries with eggs laid in the soil, where they overwinter (embryonic diapause).  During the forecast period, DMA hatching may occur in northern Afghanistan and southern regions of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan; no development is expected concerning CIT and LMI.
