  LOAN PROJECT
 
 KAZAKSTAN
 Name of Project: Locust ManagementEmergency Project
 ProjectNo.:           KAZ33521-01
 Executing Agency:Ministry of Agriculture
 LoanAmount:           US$10.0 Million
Sector/Subsector:           Agriculture and Natural Resources/ Agricultural Support Services
 Objectives and Scope:  A locustinfestation has affected Kazakhstan's cropland with increasingseverity since late 1998. Given the potentially explosive growthof the locust population under present agroclimatic conditions,the Government fears that an even more severe and extensiveplague could ensue next year unless immediate mitigative stepsare taken in regions of the country that are most prone toinfestation. Rather than being confined to Kazakhstan, theproblem has broader regional dimensions, since Uzbekistan andsouthern Russia also suffered significant losses from locusts in1999. The Project will support and enhance the Government'sprogram for pest and disease control in the year 2000. TheProject will have two objectives: (i) control of the growth anddamage of the locust population next year through an immediate,efficient, environmentally sound intervention; and (ii)development of a longer-term, sustainable approach to locustmanagement using recent technological innovations. The projectarea will encompass the northern grain-producing regions withsignificant infestation of Calliptamus italicus and non-migratorygrasshoppers. The Project's immediate locust eradicationintervention will contribute to the Government's overall programwhich involves a combination of chemical treatment on 4.9m ha andmechanical tillage treatment on an additional 1.0m ha. Theproject's longer-run locust management intervention will benationwide in scope, involving public agencies and farms at thenational, oblast, and raion levels. The project will usepesticides and application methods with minimum toxic effect onhumans and non-target organisms. This requires the use of arestricted range of pesticides (Insect Growth Regulators [IGRs]and synthetic pyrethroids), together with Ultra-Low Volume (ULV)application technology. Spraying will only take place oncultivated land, abandoned or fallow land, and improved pastures.There will no spraying within three kilometers of open water andhuman settlements, in virgin natural habitats, or in protectedareas. The project will provide training and protective clothingfor handlers and operators of ULV spraying machinery. Theproposed loan also makes provision for field-level environmentalmonitoring during the spraying campaign. In addition to dealingwith the immediate locust crisis, a secondary objective of theproject is to promote the refinement of MOA's longer-term,strategy for locust management. The project will support thedevelopment of new technological capacity in the Plant ProtectionService through (a) a large-scale trial (approximately 800hectares) of newly developed myco-insecticides to assess theirsuitability for eventual replacement of synthetic pesticides; and(b) the introduction of a computer-assisted locust forecastingsystem which would reduce the cost of surveys.
