Grasshopper

Grasshoppers are sometimes found in young soybeans near field borders after migrating from nearby weed hosts. Spot treatment may be advisable when significant feeding occurs. Aerial insecticide applications are more effective than ground applications. If grasshoppers are causing over 40% defoliation in pre-blooming soybeans or 20% defoliation in soybeans that are blooming or past blooming, an insecticide treatment may be warranted.
