Afternoon Ag News, August 5, 2021: Farmers should be on the look out for grasshoppers - a podcast by MWC

The National Sunflower Association is reminding producers to be vigilant on scouting for grasshoppers. Adult grasshoppers are becoming more common and can do more damage quickly to maturing field crops. As small grains are harvested, grasshoppers will start moving around more to find ‘greener’ field crops to feed in. NDSU IPM Scouts detected increasing numbers in most areas of North Dakota last week. Action Threshold for Adult Grasshoppers: 21-40 per square yard in field margins or 8-14 per square yard in the field.
