Alfalfa Weevil and Flea Beetle Issues Pressure Farmers
The county reports spotty alfalfa weevil damage with some fields showing major infestation while others are minor. Heavy rain does not deter the pests but creates good growing conditions if fields dry. Spraying by air may be most practical with Levin recommended if harvest is not far off. Flea beetles threaten corn in Central and Southern Ohio, with cool wet weather favoring development. Levin at 2 pounds per acre may be used for foliage spray when large beetle numbers attack.
