Since mid-April, locusts have been unearthed in Qingshuihe County and Wuchuan County, Locust Fever District, Hohhot City.
On April 14, Qingshuihe County surveyors found locusts hatched in the grassland of Taiziliang Village, Chengguan Town, with an age of 1 year, which was the first sighting period of locusts in Hohhot, which was 4 days later than in 2016. On April 24, Wuchuan County surveyors surveyed the grass beach of Heishatu Village in Erfenzi Township and found that locusts were unearthed and sporadic, with low density.
It is hoped that all flag counties and districts will pay attention to observing the occurrence and development of locusts to avoid their spread hazards. When the locust density reaches 5 heads per square meter in farmland and 10 heads per square meter in grass beaches, emergency prevention and control is carried out immediately.
