Abstract

This paper gives an account of the activities of the International Red Locust Control Organisation for Central and Southern Africa (IRLCO-CSA) in the management of the red locust, other locust species and non-locust migratory pests in the 1980s and 1990s. It also analyses the advances made by IRLCO-CSA in implementing a preventive control strategy so as to avoid future plagues and outlines the activities of IRLCO-CSA during periods of locust recession.
