Abstract
The dosage of carbofuran as a bait required to reduce third-instar grasshopper populations to non-economic levels (5–10 grasshoppers per square metre in short mixed grass hay pasture) was considerably lower than the recommended rate for spray application. The results from 2 years’ field trials showed that 35.0 g active ingredient per hectare as a bait would reduce grasshopper populations by about 70%, 3 days after application.Keywords
