Abstract

"The variegated cutworm and the fall armyworm are both serious pests of alfalfa. Although both are the larvae of moths and feed on alfalfa stems and leaves, they are usually pests at opposite ends of the growing season. While the variegated cutworm overwinters in Missouri, the fall armyworm migrates into Missouri each summer. As a result, variegated cutworms frequently damage alfalfa in the spring, while the fall armyworm can cause serious damage to alfalfa in the fall (especially in fall-seeded stands). Failure to control outbreaks of these pests can lead to reduced yields and loss of stands."--First page.
