Situation update from Industry and Investment
We have now received 4,516 reports of locust activity, including nine reports of swarms. The majority of adult reports are of low density swarms with one high density swarm reported to date.
With harvest underway in north, central and southern regions, we are receiving sporadic reports of locust nymphs in the understory of harvested crops. This is a reminder to get back into paddocks once crops are off and re-check for any locust activity.
To date, we have not had any reports of crop damage or reports of significant grain contamination.
