Title: Year of the locust / Bill CoffinAuthor: Coffin, Bill
Notes: They attack by the millions, massed so thickly they blot out the sun. Endleely voracious, they reduce entire lush croplands to baren ruin in hours. And once they take flight, they are almost impossible to stop. They are locusts, the creatures of biblical plague. They are having a banner year in 2005, and that spells disaster for farmers and agricultural businesses from western Africa to eastern AustraliaRelated records: En: Risk management. - New York. - Vol.52, nº3, March 2005 ; p. 10-15Materia / lugar / evento: Insecticidas Insectos Pesticidas Agricultura Medio ambiente Contaminantes biológicos Plagas Protección del medio ambiente Contaminantes químicos África Australia Secondary titles: Título: Risk management
