DMA hatching in Afghanistan and Uzbekistan was recorded during the second and third decades of March. During the forecast period, DMA hopper development will continue in the above countries, while hatching will begin in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and the Russian Federation, as well as in Azerbaijan and Georgia. Italian Locust (CIT) hatching may start in the southern countries of Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) at the end of the forecast period. Asian Migratory Locust (LMI) hatching is not expected in April.
