| description | This article studies the fight against locusts in Mexico and Central America in the first half of the 20th Century. The most devastating of these has been Schistocerca piceifrons, which has been a problem in this cross-border region since pre-Hispanic times. It studies the fight against this locust in two historic moments: the first is the domestic campaign in Mexico in the 1920s, primarily focused on Yucatán and Veracruz; the second is the Mexican-Central American campaign in the 1940s and 50s, with the formation of the International Technical Committee for the Fight against Locusts in Mexico and Central America. The analysis of the initial local and national stage of the anti-locust campaigns reconstructs how and with which regulatory tools and scientific and institutional mechanisms the plague was fought and controlled in the Gulf Coast and the Yucatán Peninsula, explaining the rise of state and federal pest management policies. The second stage, that of the Mexican-Central American campaign against locusts in the 1940s and 50s, is studied as an experience that went beyond the principles and methods of domestic pest management, leading to the creation of transnational animal and plant management and oversight bodies, intergovernmental agreements and scientific, technical and sanitary mechanisms for the entire Mesoamerican region, promoted by the fao. This article argues that locusts interconnected a variety of bioregions in different countries, promoting both local control measures as well as national and supranational pest control regulations and applied entomological research, contributing to the birth of an agricultural biogeopolitics in Mexico and Central America. |

El presente artículo estudia el combate de las plagas de langosta en México y Centroamérica en la primera mitad del siglo XX. De entre otras, la más importante plaga de langosta ha sido la de Schistocerca piceifrons Walker, plaga transfronteriza, compartida entre estos países vecinos desde tiempos prehispánicos. El artículo estudia la lucha contra este acridio en dos momentos: primero, uno nacional, en México, en la década de 1920, que se enfoca principalmente en las campañas contra la langosta en Yucatán y Veracruz; y después, un segundo momento, mexicanocentroamericano, entre 1940-1950, con la formación del Comité Técnico Internacional de lucha contra la langosta en México y América Central. El análisis de la primera etapa local y nacional de las campañas contra la langosta reconstruye cómo y con qué instrumentos normativos y dispositivos científicos e institucionales se buscó combatir y controlar la plaga en el Golfo y la península de Yucatán, explicando el surgimiento de una política pública estatal y federal destinada a la defensa agrícola. El segundo momento, la campaña mexicanocentroamericana contra el acridio entre las décadas de 1940-1950, se estudia como una experiencia que desbordó los principios y métodos de la defensa agrícola nacional, conduciendo a la creación de organismos de control y supervisión de sanidad animal y vegetal a escala transnacional, a acuerdos intergubernamentales y a la creación de dispositivos e instrumentos de cooperación científica, técnica y sanitaria para toda el área mesoamericana, impulsados por la FAO. El artículo argumenta que la langosta transnacional interconectó diversas biorregiones a su paso, impulsando tanto medidas locales de control como también la normalización nacional y supranacional de políticas de protección y sanidad vegetal y de investigación entomológica aplicada, contribuyendo así al nacimiento de una biogeopolítica agropecuaria en México y América Central.
