As Zimbabwe battles army worm, threat of even more destructive red locusts looms
Experts are currently meeting in Harare at an emergency UN meeting over how to deal with the fall armyworm which has already affected staple food crops in many African countries. However, a pest control organisation has warned that a bigger threat is coming and should be dealt with as soon as possible. Red locusts which are breeding in central Zambia pose a huge threat to Southern African farmers as they are 10 times worse than the army worms.
Moses Okhoba, director of the International Red Locust Control Organisation for Central and Southern Africa in an interview on Tuesday said:
If you had an outbreak of locusts, the situation will be about 10 times worse when compared to when you had fall armyworms
FeedbackYou do not want to see a swarm of locusts in your field because then you will not be talking of anything to harvest or to see.
