The swarm before the storm -KD Prathapan
-Frontline.in
As the threat of a locust attack looms, and as climate change threatens to increase the frequency of such attacks, Indian agriculture needs a more durable and long-term strategy to fight the menace.
Life in the desert is defined by scarcity of water. The harsh, prolonged dry spells further restrict the availability of food resources for much of the year. Plants and animals in the desert have evolved various strategies to cope with the extreme environment. Migration over long distances, in search of greener pastures, is one of the common strategies of large desert animals such as the wildebeest in Africa. The desert locust, which has integrated behavioural, functional and structural adaptations to migrate over great distances across continents, has evolved as one of the most successful life forms in the desert. The locusts are among the most dreaded migratory pests in the world; huge swarms of desert locust appear suddenly in the sky and devour all kinds of vegetation within hours, threatening the food supply of millions of people in some of the poorest countries. India, after more than two decades, is experiencing a massive locust attack, which is likely to intensify in the months ahead.
