| Sumario: | The South American locust (Schistocerca cancellata Serville, 1838) was the most destructive agricultural pest in late 1800’s to early to mid 1900’s Argentina. However, since the 1950s its numbers decreased considerably until a notable upsurge in Argentina in 2015. Here, we give historical context for this species, discuss the current upsurge, and outline ongoing and upcoming research and
management activities and collaborations. |
