l. A farming area developed a major locust problem. Swarms of locusts were destroying crops and the environment. A team of
scientists developed an infectious disease that would reduce the population of locusts What would be most important to find
out before producing and releasing the disease?
how a decreased number of locusts would affect other organisms
which species might eat the crops in the absence of locusts
how the disease can be used for other applications
O how quickly farmers would get to see the results

When engaging in any action aimed at destroying large numbers of an organism as is the case here, there is always a need to check what impact it might have on the ecosystem at large.

This is why it is very important that the effect of a decreased number of locusts on other organisms is evaluated before such drastic action is taken. If it would lead to a situation where the ecosystem is destabilized, the consequences would be far reaching and very damaging.

How a decreased number of locusts would affect other organisms is the

most important to find out before producing the disease.

What is Population?

This is referred to the number of organisms present in an area over a

specific period of time.

We were told that swarms of locusts destroyed the environment and

needed to be reduced through the creation of a disease. The effect the

decrease in locust has on other organisms has to be considered to ensure

the ecosystem is balanced and doesn't adversely affect others.
