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

how a decreased number of locusts would affect other organisms.

Explanation:

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.
