Australian Plague Locust Commission

The Australian Plague Locust Commission (APLC) is a joint venture of the Australian Government and the member states of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland, created in 1974 to manage outbreaks of the Australian plague locust, spur-throated locust and migratory locust in eastern Australia.[1] With 19 staff members at its headquarters in Canberra and field offices in Narromine, Broken Hill and Longreach, it is jointly funded by the Commonwealth government and by the Australian states of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland.

Activities

The APLC conducts regular surveys of locust populations and migrations and carries out control of locust outbreaks by means of aerial application of pesticides;[1] traditionally these were chemicals, but more recently APLC has been a major contributor to the development of a biological pesticide in collaboration with CSIRO and LUBILOSA scientists. It also conducts educational outreach and training courses for landowners, businesses, and local governments, including international consulting work in Asia, Africa and South America.

Responsibility to control limited outbreaks of the pest species resides with the states. The APLC undertakes and coordinates activities when species migrate or have the potential to migrate across state borders and subsequently cause damage to agriculture in more than one of the member states.[2] The establishment of the APLC allowed for the first use of remotely sensed data to forecast locust populations in Australia.[3]

In 2010, the APLC together with the states identified the potential for a significant infestation of the Australian plague locust. A coordinated effort to minimise damage was undertaken. It was estimated the activities resulted in a saving of $963 million from the expenditure of $50 million.[4]

Flamine marziale

Busto di un flamine Il flamine marziale (latino Flamen Martialis) era il sacerdote dell'antica Roma preposto al culto di Marte. Il flamine marziale non era regolato da quei divieti rigidi che invece vincolavano la vita del flamine diale né era obbligato, come il diale, a partecipare ad alcuna cerimonia, anche se da una testimonianza di Cassio Dione si può ragionevolmente supporre che il flamine Marziale partecipasse al rito dell'Equus october, una corsa di bighe che si teneva alle Idi di ot...
