Clover root curculio is being identified more often in the Pacific Northwest as a cause of early stand loss and reduced vigor in alfalfa stands. These insects are related to alfalfa weevil, but attack the plant in a different way. Now Erik Wenniger and Glenn Shewmaker have put together a publication describing the pest.
"
Clover Root Curculio in Alfalfa: Identification, biology and management" is now available as PNW663. The publication described the insect, damage and suggested practices for control. It is available only on line at
