Grasshoppers, oh my!

It’s looking like a heavy grasshopper year is ahead, which can significantly reduce yield and quality. Right now the nymphs (look like tiny grasshoppers) are out and it’s a key time to reduce populations.

Unfortunately, we have to go another year without our favorite, Nolo bait, but there are other ways to manage them. Our USU IPM team has written this helpful guide and this one to understand their lifecycle and best management practices. Check it out!
