Grasshoppers

Survey Data for 2011

Other Links | Publications | Thresholds | Comments | Grasshopper Archives

Grasshopper counts reported by the survey are based on sweep net samples taken along field margins or in non-crop areas bordering fields. Survey scouts have been instructed to sample all crop sites visited, regardless of crop, since grasshoppers are a general plant feeder and could affect any of our North Dakota crops.

In general, grasshopper populations classified as threatening are expected to cause crop damage and warrant treatment.
