New Chemical
Control Methods:
Reduced
Area and Agent Treatments (RAATs)
Brochure: A new method where the rate of insecticide is reduced,
and untreated swaths are alternated with treated swaths. RAATs
reduces costs by more than 50 percent while maintaining effectiveness
and reducing environmental impact.
3
Year South Dakota RAATs Demonstration Project
Study Report: From a study conducted from 1997 to 1999 to
demonstrate on a large scale, the utility of reduced area and
agent treatments (RAATs) for reducing costs to manage damaging
populations of grasshoppers.
New
Grazing Management Research:
Suppression
of grasshoppers in the Great Plains through grazing management
Article: A study showing that twice-over rotational grazing
mitigated a grasshopper outbreak. The study illustrates that grasshopper
management through grazing management may be practical in the
northern Great Plains.
New
Integrated Pest Management Research:
North
Dakota IPM Demonstration Project
Study Report: A project conducted to compare IPM and standard
chemical control programs, determine the effectiveness of early
sampling to detect grasshopper infestations, examine long term
grasshopper responses to treatments, and evaluate control techniques
with lower non-target impacts.
Grasshopper
Management: An Integrated Approach
Brochure: Includes information on preventative management
of grasshoppers, using grazing management to reduce grasshopper
problems, and beneficial effects of grasshoppers.
