Grasshoppers Spread Into Manitoba Crops Says Entomologist
Grasshoppers are moving into the margins of grain and flax fields across Manitoba, especially Red River Valley and the southwest, with adult hoppers causing damage in crops. Hot dry weather reduces green growth along roadsides and headlands, increasing chemical needs. Recommended control includes 2 ounces of dieldrin per acre, targeting adults and future egg laying, while forage crop uses avoid poisonous residues by limiting to sevin and malathion.
