Grasshoppers and armyworms are forage insect pests that many producers deal with. Before purchasing products to treat these pests it is important to always read and follow label directions to make sure products are approved for use in pastures and hayfields and what the grazing or hay restrictions are. It is critical to check the label and not just rely on information from a salesperson.
When an armyworm outbreak occurs, product availability may be limited. It is often a good strategy to keep enough product on hand to treat the majority of acres that may need to be sprayed.
