This paper examines a number of options, including one that is ready for immediate implementation: the mycoinsecticide, Green Muscle®, based on the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (flavoviride) var. acridum. It has been registered in South Africa and other African countries are likely to follow during 1999. Trial results on grasshoppers and several locust species have been very encouraging, and preliminary tests on red locusts show potential as well. Recent research on pheromones also points to some interesting possibilities, both when used alone and in combination with a mycoinsecticide. Finally, microsporidian protozoans and rhabditid nematodes show some promise for long-term suppression of red locust populations, but more research and development is needed to demonstrate their potential.
