Abstract

In 1991, there has been a lot of concern about the clover leaf weevil in alfalfa in eastern Nebraska. Many farmers in the eastern one-third of the state experienced problems with the regrowth of alfalfa after the first cutting in 1990, caused by the feeding of the adult of this insect. This NebFact discusses the difference between the alfalfa weevil and the clover leaf weevil and to control them in the field(s).
