It has been reported in the media that Maharashtra is in fear of entering Karnataka as rusty grasshoppers affecting North India. These grasshoppers, which feed on the crop in the second half, will cause food shortages in the future. Thus the State Government should take precautionary measures.
There are reports that a herd of grasshoppers is currently in Amaravati, Maharashtra. Amaravathi is a district geographically close to our Bidar, Kalaburgi. These locusts found in the desert of East Africa and Iran have entered India through Pakistan. It is not impossible to cross the districts.
There are 4 crore grasshoppers in an area of 1 sq km. These grasshoppers eat food just as much as their body size, so they can calculate the amount of crop damage. Thus, drug spraying is taking place in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh.
