What’s happening when your alfalfa field has been treated but still becomes a weevil buffet? Brand new guest, Erika Rodbell, PhD, joins hosts Sal Sama and Jeff Jarrett for today’s episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Dr. Rodbell is the Forage Research Agronomist at Forage Genetics International, and she’s here to discuss the dreaded alfalfa weevil.
Dr. Rodbell will share how she went from speaking at a conference to becoming an employee of Forage Genetics International on a podcast discussing weevils. You’ll learn about the different types of weevils across the United States and why the insecticides that used to work 20 years ago are no longer as effective. If you have resistance to pyrethroids, Dr. Rodbell will discuss the alternatives on the market including indoxacarb and spinosad and the differences between them. From cultural to mechanical and biological control strategies, you’ll learn what people can do outside the application of insecticides. If you’re interested in learning more about the various traits on the market today, visit HarvXtra.com to get some insight on what kind of investment that could be for your operation.
