Locust situation
New Delhi: August 29, 2003

No gregarious locust activity has been noticed during surveys conducted by the Locust Warning Organisation in various localities of the Scheduled Desert Area of Gujarat and Rajasthan. However, solitary and localized population of locust may appear on a small scale in coming months, as ecological conditions are reported favourable in almost all the locust prone areas of Rajasthan and Gujarat, especially all along the Indo-Pak border areas.

Low to moderate incidence of Rice Grasshopper has been reported in isolated fields of some villages in the Jalore District of Rajasthan on Bajra and Gowar crops over an area of about 30 to 40 hectares.
