The Alfalfa Weevil and Methods of Controlling it
The alfalfa weevil destroys a great deal of alfalfa in northern Utah and southern Idaho. It also inhabit southwestern Wyoming and is spreading slowly to new territory in all directions. I may in time infest most of the United States. The adult, a small brown snout-beetle, and th larva, a green wormlike creature, usually escape notice during the first two or three years that they are present in a locality, but as soon as they begin to become numerous enough to do harm they are readily found, and their effect upon the appearance of the fields is conspicuous. Vigorous treatment is then necessary to prevent partial or total destruction of the first and second crops. The purpose of this bulletin is to show how serious the attack is to the farmer, how much territory it embraces and how it spreads, a nd to describe the insect, its work, and the methods which are effective in dealing with it.

Overseeding and Companion Cropping in Alfalfa
Alfalfa is considered the “queen of forages” because it is high yielding, high in forage quality, a persistent perennial, and resistant to many pests and diseases. Because of these qualities, alfalfa is not a crop that is typically thought to benefit from overseeding or companion cropping. However, overseeding can enhance your yield and the quality of your stand, and companion cropping may hold significant pest-management advantages. Find out when and why you may want to overseed or companion crop to reap these benefits. Inside you’ll find information on: • Factors to consider for overseeding including selecting the right species • Seeding dates and rates for various crops used in overseeding • Harvest compatibility • Risks and benefits of companion cropping • Various possible companion crops • Pest interactions in mixed alfalfa crops • Quality, market and economic considerations of mixed alfalfa crops This concise, easy-to-use, 31-page guide is profusely illustrated with 31 color photographs and 12 tables.
