- When to Sample for Alfalfa Weevil.
- Dates for initiating alfalfa weevil scouting are provided, based on 30 years of climatic data used to estimate appropriate degree day accumulations for northern and southern Nebraska.
- Sampling activities for alfalfa weevil need to be timed properly because it is inefficient to sample when the pest is not active or present. ...
- Typically, two degree day (DD) accumulations are used to initiate alfalfa weevil sampling in Nebraska -- 250 and 300 DD. ... Research at Iowa State University suggests that alfalfa weevil sampling should begin at 250 DD in the southern half of Iowa and at 300 DD in the northern half. ...
- The dates in the six figures provide alfalfa growers with a sense of the risk assumed if sampling is initiated on these dates. In Figure 1, for example, if sampling is initiated by March 26 in southwestern and south central Nebraska, the alfalfa grower will have begun sampling at or before the beginning of alfalfa weevil egg hatch in nine of ten years. ...
- The dates in Figure 4 indicate that if sampling is initiated by April 10 in north central and northeastern Nebraska, the alfalfa grower will have begun sampling at or before the beginning of alfalfa weevil egg hatch in nine of ten years. ...
- Although there is some probability that alfalfa weevil egg hatch will be missed when any date is used, there is usually still time for management (if needed) because economic damage typically will not occur until at least one week after egg hatch. ... Real-time degree day accumulations are the most accurate predictors of alfalfa weevil egg hatch and should be used whenever possible. However, when real-time degree day accumulations are not available, the information presented here can be used to initiate alfalfa weevil sampling activities.
- (17K GIF) Date on which an alfalfa grower using the 250 DD base will initiate alfalfa weevil sampling at or before egg hatch in 9 of 10 years. ...
- (12K GIF) Date on which an alfalfa grower using the 250 DD base will initiate alfalfa weevil sampling at or before egg hatch in three of four years. ...
- (23K GIF) Date on which an alfalfa grower using the 250 DD base will initiate alfalfa weevil sampling at or before egg hatch in one of two years. ...
- (35K GIF) Date on which an alfalfa grower using the 300 DD base will initiate alfalfa weevil sampling at or before egg hatch in 9 of 10 years. ...
- (22K GIF) Date on which an alfalfa grower using the 300 DD base will initiate alfalfa weevil sampling at or before egg hatch in three of four years. ...

- There are many different varieties of alfalfa. (Click here for information on different varietys of alfalfa.
- Alfalfa is and has always been important for grazing. Click here for further information on establishing alfalfa for grazing. Alfalfa is also important for making hay. This is a picture of a typical field of alfalfa hay:.
- If alfalfa is grazed, an intensive rotational grazing program has been shown to be most productive, while insuring alfalfa survival. Allowing livestock to graze for 3 days, then giving alfalfa 30 days for recovery, works well. Using this approach to graze alfalfa obviously involves partitioning the pasture area into smaller areas. Thus, fencing can be an added cost of using alfalfa in this manner. Intensive grazing is not much different than harvesting alfalfa for hay, where forage is cut, baled , and hauled away. ...

- Illini Predictive Equations for Alfalfa Quality.
- Predictive Equation for Alfalfa Quality (PEAQ) is an in-field predictor of forage quality by monitoring plant height and maturity. ... The PEAQ program, developed by the Department of Agronomy at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, guides producers in determining the optimum harvest date for 1st cutting alfalfa. By determining the RFV of standing alfalfa, producers can more accurately gauge when to begin the 1st crop harvest schedule. ...

- Potato Leafhopper on Alfalfa.
- In Ohio, PLH begins to appear in alfalfa when 1st cutting of alfalfa is near harvest. ...
- Initial damage to alfalfa is exhibited in the form of wedge-shaped yellowing of leaf tips which is commonly called hopper burn and may be confused with boron deficiency symptoms. ...
- Heavy PLH infestations may completely stunt alfalfa stand development-especially early development of new stands and regrowth following harvest. Excessive stress on alfalfa due to PLH feeding activity may reduce yield of both the current crop and following crops. Yield reductions of 20 to 25% of the 2nd or 3rd cuttings due to PLH feeding are common in Ohio alfalfa production. In addition, stunting and slower regrowth of damaged alfalfa results in a less competitive crop, leading to weed invasion. ...
- Harvest of an alfalfa crop will temporarily eliminate the presence of PLH nymphs and cause the dispersal of PLH adults from an alfalfa stand. ... If an alfalfa stand is allowed to grow for more than three weeks, PLH nymphs mature to the adult stage and the numbers of PLH adults increase significantly. ... PLH activity on Ohio alfalfa tends to peak in July and decline in August. ...
- Non-PLH resistant alfalfa adjacent to more dense growth of PLH resistant alfalfa.
- Losses in alfalfa yield due to PLH feeding activity can be reduced by (1) timely implementation of harvests, (2) growing of PLH resistant varieties, and (3) application of insecticide treatments when warranted. ...
- Delayed harvesting of alfalfa stands encourages multiplication of PLH populations since PLH nymphs are able to reach the adult stage and reproduce. ...
- Use of PLH resistant alfalfa varieties significantly reduces yield losses due to PLH feeding activity. The presence of glandular-hairs on PLH resistant alfalfa reduces PLH feeding and nymph development. ...
- Under conditions of moderate to heavy PLH infestation, yields of PLH resistant alfalfa may be optimized by application of insecticides-especially during the season of stand establishment. However, yields of PLH resistant alfalfa will be higher than untreated non-PLH resistant alfalfa when significant infestations of PLH occur. ...
