Alfalfa Weevil May Make Big Comeback This Year
Kansas State University entomologist Robert Bauernfeind says alfalfa weevils could rebound in 1981 despite recent low populations. He notes last fall’s large adult and egg presence signals potential trouble, but mild fall weather and ongoing winter conditions may alter outcomes. Farmers should inspect fields from early April to the first cutting and consult county agents for 1981 Field Crop guidelines.

Weevil Life Cycle Harms Alfalfa Fields Across Seasons
The article explains the alfalfa weevil life cycle with annual generations hatching from fall laid eggs. Eggs hatch into larvae that feed on terminal growth, later pupating in white cocoons. Adults emerge in 7 to 10 days, feed on stems in cool weather, then rest in summer and return in fall to lay eggs, with larvae causing most damage and gray foliage from late April to May.
