Alfalfa - Recommended insecticides for grasshopper control

Grasshopper

Sampling/Decisionmaking.

Young stands less than 6 inches in height or stubble regrowth may need protection against grasshoppers during drought or in new fall seedlings. If four to five nymphs per square yard in crop areas are observed, a treatment may be justified. Control of nymphs is easier to achieve than control of adults.
