The Direction de la Protection des Végétaux (DPV) (Directorate of Plant Protection) in Senegal is a governmental agency operating under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Equipment. It is primarily responsible for protecting plants and controlling pests within the country. The DPV plays a crucial role in monitoring, managing, and controlling pests and plant diseases, including locusts and grasshoppers.

The DPV is also involved in research and development, studying pest behavior, developing new control methods, and improving agricultural practices. Moreover, the agency provides training and raises awareness among farmers, agricultural workers, and the general public about best practices in pest management and plant health. It is the primary resource for farmers who notice signs of locusts and grasshoppers.
