2024 Saskatchewan Grasshopper Survey
The 2024 survey indicated great reductions in populations throughout the surveyed region since 2023, likely due to cool, wet conditions seen in the spring of 2024. However, moderate to severe densities were still detected in several southern sites with reports of spraying occurring in multiple crops.
This survey targets to assess four roadside sites per RM for grasshopper density. High local populations may not be reflected in this map. There are several factors that can influence next year’s populations including the numbers of grasshoppers present in a region. These include temperature and precipitation, both during the current growing season and in the following spring.
