My reply was perhaps a bit too simple and optimistic, so thanks for your comment. Bugs can indeed do more than a little damage, and the bad years can be horrible! I guess the spirit of my previous comment was that it can be possible to find some success, without pesticides or an aggressive IPM program. > not all crops are seriously affected Crop diversity is the key, and a life saver when the pressure is on, or when things just don't go as planned for whatever reason! I don't get terrible grasshopper pressure in my location, but a friend does and uses Nolo Bait as part of her management.
