Here are five facts about locusts that you may not even know about
People across the country are currently facing a difficult situation due to the corona virus, as well as a dangerous host of locusts, putting farmers and landowners in a difficult position.
Pakistan is an agricultural country and crops are important not only for our food needs but also for our economy.
Major locust attacks have been blamed on torrential rains over the past two years, which have helped them grow and thrive thousands of times.
Moist soil is more suitable for locusts and their growth has increased due to heavy rains over the last few years.
According to Pakistan's National Food Security and Research, a female gives birth to 200 to 1,200 babies and can grow up to three generations in a year.
Another disturbing thing is that in a few minutes, an army of locusts is destroying crops in an area of several kilometers.
Scientists say a herd of locusts can travel up to 120 kilometers a day, and everywhere the herd attacks crops and trees to satisfy its hunger.
