Farmer participatory development of a control strategy for the variegated grasshopper with a biopesticide in the northern Mono, Benin.
Locusts are the most feared pests of farmers living around the world’s major deserts. Millions of liters of environmentally damaging pesticides are sprayed over vast areas of land to control them and their grasshopper cousins. This paper tells the life history of the LUBILOSA (Lutte Biologique co...
