Important Locust Update (PDF 270KB)  - The GRDC has warned that locusts will be a major issue throughout the southern cropping region this season. The Australian Plague Locust Commission states that three generations of locusts have already hatched in the southern region as a result of widespread rain and favourable habitat conditions. Despite intensive attempts to control the current generation, eggs that were laid in autumn produced a widespread nymph (hopper) infestation in NSW, northern Victoria and eastern South Australia.
