Damn right I'm woke.

Locust swarms destroy crops. Scientists found a way to stop that

Arizona State University scientists are part of an international research team that discovered a simple, soil-based method to keep locusts from eating crops. To their knowledge, it’s the first study to test this method in real-world farming conditions. The team worked with 100 farmers in Senegal who experience outbreaks of the Senegalese grasshopper, which are consistently devastating for Senegalese farmers. Each farmer grew two plots of millet — one treated with nitrogen fertilizer and one untreated. Compared with the untreated plots, the treated plots showed three clear differences: fewer locusts, less crop damage, and a twofold increase in crop yield. This breakthrough represents an important step forward in the sustainable management of migratory pests.

The new episode of #InTheSwarm is now available for listening. In this #podcast, Yannick Günzel and Inga Petelski talk about #locusts 😊

The #Desert #Swarmers
Most of us have heard of the plague of locusts. But did you know that to this day, desert locust plagues still threaten the food security of millions? In this episode, Yannick Günzel and Inga Petelski will tell us all about how the population density and social order within a locust population can transform shy, solitary locusts into hungry, gregarious ones who are ready to march with millions of their friends to search for the next meal.
