Expert Response
you should be scouting your crops for the nymphs and grasshoppers to get an idea of how large your infestation is. Did you have a problem last year? If so, they probably laid a lot of eggs that are now emerging.the recent rain we have had may slow them down.
If you are using Sevin, be sure to follow all instructions and apply it in the concentration listed for the size of the area you are treating. Wear protective clothing and do not spray on windy days or when temps are above 85°.
