Some tips for anticipating grasshoppers

in #esteem5 years ago
Hello all, good day !!!

As was written in a previous post, that lately there are areas attacked by locust pests in large numbers.

A large number of locusts have attacked Indonesian territory, this happened several years ago. Then in 2019 the grasshopper also attacked farmers' crops that are being cultivated in African countries. When you see this situation, it is also possible to attack other countries.

Maybe this year 2020 or 2021 will also attack several other countries as has happened in the past few years.

Then what steps #must be taken so that grasshoppers do not attack our territory?


So in this case there are some tips that we must do to anticipate the presence of grasshopper outbreaks at this time. So these tips have been done by Indonesian citizens in anticipating their presence.

These tips are also based on the experience of Indonesian farmers in anticipating the arrival of locusts in large numbers.

Although the tips are not entirely in the ward but at least can reduce the population in your area.

  • Don't cut down the forest illegally
  • If in the hilly area do not cut down host plants, because their food is found in these leaves
  • Keep your forest from getting burnt
  • Stay away from behavior that can destroy animal habitat
  • And other things that can interfere with animal or plant preservation whether protected or not.

What #steps are taken if they attack your area?


In general, every grasshopper always attacks the region in each country, but the difference in terms of population. If their presence in large numbers is said to be attacked by grasshopper outbreaks, as has happened in several countries lately.

If their presence is small, it is said to be a pest attack. If this happens can still be overcome by several ways with simple techniques that are often done by each individual farmer.

However, if its presence reaches an alarming number with millions then this must be intervened by the government in an effort to anticipate it.

So there are simple tips that can anticipate their presence, these tips are adopted based on the experience of each farmer and the government in anticipating them.

  • #Release large numbers of insectivorous ducks
  • #Spray the liquid that comes from papaya
  • #Tuba Root Pesticides and Neem Leaves
  • Organic #pesticide soursop leaves

The four tips mentioned above are some simple and easy techniques for every farmer to reach, and this experience can be said to be successful in anticipating the existence of grasshoppers in the form of pests and epidemics. Then the greater the grasshopper population, the greater the material needed or must be in accordance with the state of the population.

The locusts that you see in this post, are the remnants of grasshoppers that have attacked plant populations in our area, because of tips from above, some of them died and some moved from plantations to residential areas or can be said to look for areas where there is no material spray mentioned above.

And in the end the locusts in large numbers have been reduced from the previous number so that plants can grow and develop in accordance with the expectations of us all.

Thus this brief exposition, in simple tips for dealing with locust attacks, although not entirely able to overcome them, but at least can reduce its population. Thank you very much.
