Due to COVID-19 pandemic and travelling restrictions, the Locust-Tec project has established a cooperation with a German locust breeding farm to enable additional tests in Germany under laboratory conditions. The breeding farm “Reptile Food Handels- & Zucht GmbH” provided the oportunity to test the electric grid concept on Desert Locust (Schistocerca gregaria) and Asian Migratory Locust (Locusta migratoria) at different development stages of the gregarious phase.
