What measures can I undertake to prevent treated locusts moving into organically accredited farms?
In the first instance, liaise with your neighbour about the best control options. If the bands are within 300 metres of an organic farm use Green Guard (metarhizium). It is recommended that you do not use a conventional insecticide within 300 metre upwind of an organic property boundary. This will reduce any likelihood of drift or the movement of treated hoppers from your property into the neighbours.
