Standard operating procedures (SOP) for desert locust ground control
The objective of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Desert Locust Control is to give concise instructions for good insecticide application against the Desert Locust. These instructions are intended for use by the field staff who are involved in Desert Locust operations (including Locust Officers and technicians) in order to help them to avoid dangerous, ineffective or wasteful control operations. They are based on the FAO Desert Locust Guidelines where more detailed information and references are available.
The instructions focus on: ULV insecticide spraying, ULV spray equipment, techniques for safe and efficient operations.
