&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;This year, the first locust attack happened on May 11 in Sri Ganganagar and Hanumangarh districts of Rajasthan. So far, 90,000 hectares in 20 districts have been affected due to the locust attack.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Ever since the first locust attack happened in Barmer in May last year, Sher Singh Thakur is having sleepless nights. His village Tambor is only two kilometres from the India-Pakistan border. The fear of locusts attacking his crop has forced him to sleep in his farm during the nights. For the same purpose, he has made a makeshift shack there. But he does something strange too every night &amp;ndash; he switches on a radio in full volume, for he believes it will keep the locusts away. Most other farmers in the area, too, are sleeping in the farms with loud music being blared by a radio or a speaker.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In a bid to ward off the tropical grasshoppers that have been destroying crops for a year now, farmers are trying all sorts of creative methods &amp;ndash; beating &amp;lsquo;thalis&amp;rsquo;, bursting crackers, playing drums, using DJ, radio and loudspeakers, and even revving their tractors. &amp;quot;I have spent most nights in the past year looking out for locusts. As soon as they would arrive in the field, I would play radio at full volume and also turn on the tractor. I have removed its silencer to get more sound,&amp;rdquo; says Thakur. The technique is helpful, he adds, but next night the locusts would quietly attack the field again.&lt;/p&gt;

From Beating ‘Thalis’ To Revving Tractors: Farmers Try Innovative Ways To Keep Locusts Away -Tabeenah Anjum

-Outlook India This year, the first locust attack happened on May 11 in Sri Ganganagar and Hanumangarh districts of Rajasthan. So far, 90,000 hectares in 20 districts have been affected due to the locust attack. Ever since the first locust attack happened in Barmer in May last year, Sher Singh Thakur is having sleepless nights. His village Tambor is only two kilometres from the India-Pakistan border. The fear of locusts attacking his crop has forced him to sleep in his farm during the nights. For the same purpose, he has made a makeshift shack there. But he does something strange too every night – he switches on a radio in full volume, for he believes it will keep the locusts away. Most other farmers in the area, too, are sleeping in the farms with loud music being blared by a radio or a speaker. In a bid to ward off the tropical grasshoppers that have been destroying crops for a year now, farmers are trying all sorts of creative methods – beating ‘thalis’, bursting crackers, playing drums, using DJ, radio and loudspeakers, and even revving their tractors. "I have spent most nights in the past year looking out for locusts. As soon as they would arrive in the field, I would play radio at full volume and also turn on the tractor. I have removed its silencer to get more sound,” says Thakur. The technique is helpful, he adds, but next night the locusts would quietly attack the field again. Please click here to read more.
