Standard operating procedures (SOP) for desert locust aerial survey and control
The objective of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Desert Locust Aerial Survey and Control is to give concise instructions for effective and safe survey and control operations against the Desert Locust using aircraft. These instructions are intended for use by the field staff who are involved in Desert Locust aerial operations (including Locust Officers and pilots) to help them avoid dangerous, ineffective or wasteful operations. They are based on the FAO Desert Locust Guidelines where more detailed information
and references are available.
The instructions focus on: Aerial survey operations, aerial spraying of ULV insecticides, ULV aerial spray equipment, techniques for safe and efficient operations.
