| Summary: | Actual for the Rostov area (Southern Russia)
questions of distribution, biology and nocuity of two species
of Acrididae: Italian locust Calliptamus italicus and Asian
flying locust Locusta migratoria migratoria are considered.
In the Rostov area within last decade significant increase of
number of these species and expansion of the areas of settling
and nocuity is marked. Increase number of Calliptamus
italicus in conditions of the Rostov area has occured because
of infringement of structure of crop rotations and the long
termination of economic activities on the significant areas.
Increase of number and expansion of the areas borrowed by
gregarious form Locusta migratoria migratoria is connected
with drainage of fish-breeding ponds and deducing from
crop rotations of rice checks |
