  3. Reminder to Scout for Alfalfa Weevil

    Author(s): Kyle Verhoff, Aaron Wilson, Jason Hartschuh, CCA

    Despite the colder start to the year, we are still accumulating growing degree days (GDD). The southern portion of the state is in the prime range, of between 325 and 575 GDDs, for alfalfa weevil feeding and damage. For the northern part of the state, don’t let the lower GDDs give you a false sense of security. Despite lower GDDs, alfalfa weevils may be present. Identifying a problem early gives you a greater opportunity for control, in what always seems to be a hectic spring.
