Early Weevil Infestation Prompts Field Checks For Alfalfa
With mild weather the alfalfa weevil is active earlier this season. Growers report damage on 5 to 6 inch plants and are urged to inspect fields frequently to gauge infestation and timing of first sprays. If feeding continues ahead of normal, yield losses could be severe until insecticides are applied. Farmers should maximize output by applying sound cultural practices and planning operations to improve net returns per acre. For corn, ensure enough kernels are planted to achieve target stands and adjust plant populations for mortality, bird damage, and germination, with silage planted 4 to 5 thousand per acre, thicker than grain.
