There have been some random territories of Armyworms causing some real havoc on some producer’s pasture and alfalfa. Make sure to get out and scout your fields or give our Agronomist’s a call!

Call Tony or Gary if you have any questions or need any agronomic insights or recomendations! (712) 947-4104

Alfalfa Leaf Hoppers?

Jul 8, 2021 | General Crop Info, Scouting Reports

Below is a picture of the initial signs of leaf hopper injury. You will notice a triangular yellow or purple discoloration at the tip of the leaves.

Beware that this is also a very common symptom of potassium deficiency or drought as well.

If you are seeing this kind of injury in your Alfalfa, to make sure it is caused by Leaf Hoppers, we need to find the presence of the leaf hopper by netting your field.
