Alfalfa is the most grown crop in Saline, Jefferson, and Gage counties after corn and soybeans. Based on satellite imagery and crop reflectance, USDA CropScape estimates there was over 18,000 acres of alfalfa growing in 2020 in Saline, Jefferson, and Gage counties.
An independent crop consultant, private industry agronomist, and Nebraska Extension (me) found alfalfa weevil (Figure 1) this last week of April. Our Nebraska Extension Entomologist have scouting and treatment recommendations in a CropWatch article released today called, Scouting Advised for Alfalfa Weevil.
