locusts are rich in protein, which represents 62% and fats 17% and inorganic
represent the rest such as: magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, sodium,
iron, phosphorus, and others.
Pass
the life cycle of insects locusts three basic stages are egg, nymph, insect full
and different time period for each stage depending on the circumstances
prevailing weather, and differs longevity locusts completed capita growth, if
somewhere between two and a half to five months and generally depend for life on
the time it takes the
completion of growth in terms of nationality, if growth was completed quickly
became a short overall length of life ·
Locusts
devoured in per kilometer of the squadron about 100 thousand tons of green
vegetation in the day, which is enough to feed half a million people for a year
(locust eat 1.5 to 3 grams - and per square kilometer of it containing 50 Mellon
Jaradah at least)
The
insects feed on leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds and peel plant, buds and
generally difficult to assess the damage caused by locusts high because of the
nature of the attack, where the damage depends on how long it will remain
locusts in the same region and the size of locusts and crop stage

Continuous
scanning process is very necessary to control the current locust numbers in
order to determine appropriate control methods ·
Locust species:•
Desert Locust Shistocerca Gregaria It is characterized by that it can travel
long distances, and spawn a lot where the female lays from 95 to 158 eggs and at
least three times in her life, which exist in the dry desert in Africa,
Mauritania, Morocco, Sudan and the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen and Oman, and in the
south-west Asia
rainy.

Locust ways:• spraying by
aircraft and various sprays.
•
Eliminate the newly hatched insects and incinerated in specially dug
trenches.
•
Use the way biological and using mushroom the,,,, rhiziuim (in the form of oils
are sprayed from aircraft) hit the outer wall of the insect, and penetrate the
cavity body of the insect Vispb mushrooms in death Locust through (4 - 10) days,
and advantages of this fungus that is transmitted from insect
to another quickly, not harm plants, animals and other insects in the area as do
chemical methods.
Concentrated
techniques Locust currently use pesticides instead of the old ways that were
dependent on the method Scaring or burning in the trenches · The pesticides
currently used species influence the killer senses, where kill insect once
touching the droplets pesticide in missionary or by touching plants sprayed or
swallowing
leaves sprayed · There the pesticide Almitarizim which achieved success in the
effective control of locusts or hoppers · necessary to use aerial spraying in
the affected areas on a large scale ·
