FARMERS URGED TO CONTROL LOCUSTS - 1 October 2009
The Department of Agriculture and Food is urging farmers to monitor paddocks for hatchings of Australian Plague Locusts with the onset of warmer weather. Surveys this year have shown that significant locust hatchings are predicted for more than 15 shires in the State’s grainbelt and along the south coast during spring.
While the department will undertake control measures in areas where there is the potential for high density swarms, farmers need to carry out control measures to minimise the damage to pasture and crop on their own properties. A map of anticipated locust hatchings and further information on control options can be found at www.agric.wa.gov.au searching under ‘Australian Plague locusts’.
To report locust hatchings or egg beds, contact the department’s Pest and Disease Information Service on 1800 084 881 or Agline on 1300 725 572.
