He found that numphs (young wingless grasshoppers) are beginning to emerge and in reporting on his inspections advised prop erty owners to be on the alert about their premises, corn fields, etc. to determine the need for using insecticides. Materials recommended are: 80% Carbaryle (Sevin) @ 1.4 lbs. per acre one day prior to harvest for vegetables (or 2-3 pounds of 25% Malathion per acre.) Follow directions of the manufacturer.
