Стадные саранчовые - Итальянский прус   ИТАЛЬЯНСКИЙ ПРУС, итальянская саранча, обыкновенный, или оазисный, прус (CalliptamusitalicusL.). Широко распространен в Казахстане, но набольшее скопление имеет в северном и западном Казахстане. Заселяет участки злаково-полынных, часто песчаных степей степной и пустынной зон Казахстана. Повреждает люцерну, хлопчатник, подсолнечник, овощные культуры и злаки.Взрослое насекомое (имаго) имеет тело средних размеров, самки почти вдвое крупнее самцов (длина тела самцов – 14,5-28,7 мм, самок – 21,9-41,6 мм). Окраска довольно разнообразна. Преобладают коричневато-бурые, серо-коричневатые, реже светлые и беловатые тона.Между конечностями на груди имеется тупой нарост. Крылья короче надкрылий, серо-розоватого цвета в основании. Задняя голень светло-красного или розоватого цвета.В год развивается одно поколение. Массовое появление имаго наблюдается в конце июня. При небольшой численности взрослые особи держатся отдельно, но при значительном увеличении численности переходят к стадному способу существования. Стаи могут подниматься и лететь, преодолевая большие расстояния.Половой зрелости они достигают в конце июля, спариваются и начинают откладывать яйца в августе. Во время кладки самка выделяет пенистое вещество, образующее пузырь – кубышку с 30-45 яйцами, где они переживают зиму.В 2025 году в Федоровском районе мониторинговые обследования по стадным саранчовым запланированы на площади 70 000 га, весеннее-летнее обследование – 30 000 га, летнее обследование – 40 000 га.Против саранчовых применяются различные способы обработок: сплошные - обрабатывается вся заселённая вредителем территория; барьерные - обрабатываются определённые полосы по направлению движения саранчовых с оставлением межбарьерного пространства без обработки; локальные - обрабатываются только очаги скопления (кулиги) личинок; краевые - выполняются вокруг посевов сельскохозяйственных культур. Опрыскивание химическими препаратами (инсектицидами) является основным методом борьбы с саранчовыми. На 2025 год химические обработки против стадных саранчовых за счет средств республиканского бюджета не запланированы.  В случае обнаружения саранчовых вредителей обращаться на номера ниже: Наименование организацииФ.И.ОДолжностьКонтактный телефонФедоровский районный филиалРГУ «РМЦФДиП» Назарчук ИванВладимировичРуководитель8-71442-33099ГУ «Федоровская РТИ КГИ в АПКМСХ РК»ДжагалтаеваСаулеЕсенгельдыевнаГлавный специалист-государственный инспектор по защите и карантину растений8-71442-21-6-98  Руководитель ГУ «Федоровская РТИ КГИ в АПКМСХ РК»                                                                              Шишимбаев С.А.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay-fedorov/press/news/details/1222056?lang=kk
