LOAN PROJECT

KAZAKSTAN

Name of Project: Locust Management Emergency Project

Project No.: KAZ33521-01

Executing Agency:Ministry of Agriculture

Loan Amount: US$10.0 Million

Sector/Subsector: Agriculture and Natural Resources/ Agricultural Support Services

Objectives and Scope: A locust infestation has affected Kazakhstan's cropland with increasing severity since late 1998. Given the potentially explosive growth of the locust population under present agroclimatic conditions, the Government fears that an even more severe and extensive plague could ensue next year unless immediate mitigative steps are taken in regions of the country that are most prone to infestation. Rather than being confined to Kazakhstan, the problem has broader regional dimensions, since Uzbekistan and southern Russia also suffered significant losses from locusts in 1999. The Project will support and enhance the Government's program for pest and disease control in the year 2000. The Project will have two objectives: (i) control of the growth and damage of the locust population next year through an immediate, efficient, environmentally sound intervention; and (ii) development of a longer-term, sustainable approach to locust management using recent technological innovations. The project area will encompass the northern grain-producing regions with significant infestation of Calliptamus italicus and non-migratory grasshoppers. The Project's immediate locust eradication intervention will contribute to the Government's overall program which involves a combination of chemical treatment on 4.9m ha and mechanical tillage treatment on an additional 1.0m ha. The project's longer-run locust management intervention will be nationwide in scope, involving public agencies and farms at the national, oblast, and raion levels. The project will use pesticides and application methods with minimum toxic effect on humans and non-target organisms. This requires the use of a restricted range of pesticides (Insect Growth Regulators [IGRs] and synthetic pyrethroids), together with Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) application technology. Spraying will only take place on cultivated land, abandoned or fallow land, and improved pastures. There will no spraying within three kilometers of open water and human settlements, in virgin natural habitats, or in protected areas. The project will provide training and protective clothing for handlers and operators of ULV spraying machinery. The proposed loan also makes provision for field-level environmental monitoring during the spraying campaign. In addition to dealing with the immediate locust crisis, a secondary objective of the project is to promote the refinement of MOA's longer-term, strategy for locust management. The project will support the development of new technological capacity in the Plant Protection Service through (a) a large-scale trial (approximately 800 hectares) of newly developed myco-insecticides to assess their suitability for eventual replacement of synthetic pesticides; and (b) the introduction of a computer-assisted locust forecasting system which would reduce the cost of surveys.

Procurement:

Goods: To be determined.

Services: To be determined.

Environmental Category: B/C

Project Processing Stage:

Beginning of Fact-finding Mission to be scheduled.
