Alfalfa
Alfalfa Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: April 20, 2009 by Jerry Neufeld
Brad Chamber from Pioneer Hi-Bred is reporting that cutworms have been working Treasure Valley fall and spring seeded alfalfa seed fields for the past couple weeks, growers need to be diligent in scouting for them. If the field doesn’t “green up”, there may be a cutworm problem.
Also, pea leaf weevils have been doing some damage on spring seeded alfalfa seed fields. They are capable of “notching or removing” the cotyledons of the newly sprouted alfalfa resulting in stand mortality.
Below is a pdf with information from the 2009 PNW Insect Management Handbook on how to control these pests.

Cutworms in Mint
Mint Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: April 8, 2009 by Jerry Neufeld
Fieldmen from Landview Fertilizer are reporting that cutworms have been found in several established mint fields south of Caldwell. The worms were first noticed in a new seeding of alfalfa. According to U of Idaho CIS 773, Insect Control Recommendations for Mint Production in Idaho, “ The first sign of cutworm damage is when the mint is not growing, or only part of a mint field is growing in the spring.
If you examine mint plants closely and find the underground rhizomes are cut off or seriously damaged, cutworms may be nearby in loose soil or plant debris.” Click on the “More Information” button to read CIS 773.
