Numbers for August-emerging flea beetles have to be very high — perhaps 100 per plant — before economic losses occur. Some patches might be that high… -
As predicted by moth traps, the Peace region has fields at thresholds. Beyond there, a few field here and there across the Prairies have been sprayed but the worm is not a problem on most fields… -
Grasshoppers are causing some problems this week in areas that remain dry. As for areas that got rain, the rapid crop growth that results should reduce the economic risk from grasshoppers… -
The nominal threshold for canola is seven to 12 per square metre. This article provides tips on how to scout…

Grasshoppers can thrive in hot weather. The nominal threshold for grasshoppers in canola is 7-12 per square meter, with the low end more appropriate in dry conditions…

Diamondback moth larvae and grasshoppers have been reported, but so far nothing of widespread significance. The photo shows what grasshoppers can do to a canola plant, but their damage is usually isolated to small patches. Bertha armyworm adult traps are coming down with very little in the way of hotspots… -
Grasshoppers may be above thresholds in some fields. The nominal threshold for grasshoppers in canola is 8-12 per square metre, although the higher end of that range may be more appropriate in a typical canola crop. Grasshoppers are often at higher numbers at field margins, making a targeted spray possible. Scout to see where that line is…
