Description
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is hosting a Tribal Webinar to introduce their Grasshopper and Mormon Cricket Program January 12, 2021 at 1:00pm EDT.
Program Description: APHIS conducts surveys for grasshopper populations on rangeland in the western United States, provides technical assistance on grasshopper management to landowners and managers, delivers public outreach and education programs, and may cooperatively suppress grasshopper populations when direct intervention is necessary. APHIS treats grasshoppers only upon request and after determining that treatment is warranted. In some cases, APHIS rangeland treatments protect not only the rangeland, but also reduce the likelihood that the grasshoppers will move into crops and other lands that border rangeland.
Read more about grasshoppers in the western U.S., their geographic spread, impacts on rangeland and management efforts.
