Grasshopper-Resistant
Plants
| One simple way to make your yard less attractive to grasshoppers
is to grow plants that will be less attractive to grasshoppers.
The list of plants, shown below, outlines those little-preferred
and not-preferred by grasshoppers. It was developed by John Cooper,
Extension horticulture agent for Denton County, Stan Lovelace, former
Extension horticulture agent, and Tarrant County Master Gardener
Barbara Diltz, based on observations during heavy grasshopper feeding
in Denton and Wise Counties in 1998 and 1999. Additional species
have been added based on reports from other Master Gardeners.
Use this list with caution, understanding that different results may be obtained under different conditions and with different grasshopper species. However, planting these grasshopper-resistant plants in your garden may be worthwhile.
