蝗灾是我国农业历史上三大自然灾害之一,因其危害巨大而受到特别关注。20世纪40年代,豫东黄泛区蝗灾爆发频繁而严重。蝗灾不仅给农业生产造成了严重威胁和破坏,而且给人民群众的生产和生活带来了深重的灾难。当时的河南省政府对此十分重视,制定了多种措施,并取得了一定成效。然而由于多种主客观因素的制约,治蝗并没取得预期效果。 Locust plague is one of the three major natural disasters in the history of agriculture in our country. It is especially concerned because of its tremendous harm. In the 1940s, locust plague outbreaks were frequent and severe in the flood plain of the eastern part of Henan Province. Plagues of locusts not only pose a serious threat and damage to agricultural production, but also bring devastating consequences to the people’s production and livelihood. At that time, the Henan provincial government attached great importance to it, formulated various measures and achieved some success. However, due to a variety of subjective and objective factors, control locust did not achieve the desired results.
