Banding drills allow dry fertilizer to be applied with seeds, a promising newer method.
Manitoba Grasshoppers Expected to Shrink but Insect Range Grows
Agriculture Canada entomologists forecast fewer grasshoppers on Manitoba crops in 1981 while the infestation will cover a larger land area. Past counts show 1980 outbreaks over 300 square kilometres in North Norfolk and Franklin, with moderate areas of 1,284 square kilometres. The 1981 pattern predicts light infestations overall, with concentrations from Neepawa to North Cypress and North Norfolk.
