Alertă la granița cu România! Invazie de lăcuste după valul de căldură, fermierii sunt în pericol • Newsweek România

Extreme heat in Hungary has led to a surge in locust populations, posing a threat to farmers. The National Food Chain Safety Office has authorized emergency use of six plant protection products to help mitigate damage. Locust outbreaks are reported near the Romanian border, particularly in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg. Early detection and constant monitoring are crucial to minimize crop losses, especially in vegetable and horticultural sectors. The situation is reminiscent of past locust invasions, with climate change contributing to the current increase in locust numbers.
