Insecticides Named For Grasshopper Control
The Manitoba Grasshopper Control Committee endorses Sevin Hopper Kill 4E and dieldrin for grasshopper control in 1963. Hopper Kill 4E and Sevin may be used on hay pasture land roadsides or any livestock feed vegetation. Dieldrin may be used only on non feed vegetation and dairy cattle or other livestock must not graze or be fed dieldrin treated forage. If livestock accidentally consume treated feed they require at least one year on untreated feed before milk can be sold. Dieldrin use on cereal fields limited to the shoot blade stage. Chemicals available through provincial dealers with municipal and government aid for Hopper Kill 4E and Sevin.
