Vincent Ssempijja stated: “For areas which were affected by the Fall Army Worm, farmers should practice crop rotation for maize with other crops to break the pest/disease cycles. Repeated planting of similar crops in the same fields leads to pest and disease population build up and outbreaks due to the constant availability of foods for the pests and diseases. Rotation of the crops is a good cultural practice that should be carried out by all farmers,”

We used the resources we were entrusted with wisely and massively scaled-up assistance in the districts where people were the hungriest and most at risk. The result was tremendous. We prevented famine. Unless we receive the funding we need now, we won't be able to do the same this time,"

So this is very good news for Bangladesh. Your risk of receiving desert locust is extremely low and as we continue throughout this month, the risk gets even lower because of the monsoon. During the monsoon, it gets very humid and they get infected by pathogens and die naturally because they are completely outside of their desert habitat – they don’t do well in that situation”
