Alfalfa - Recommended insecticides for webworm control

WebWorm

Sampling/Decisionmaking.

Webworms are slender, greenish-black, spotted caterpillars with three dark spots on the side of each segment and a light stripe running down the middle of the back. Control is rarely needed, but webworms may be destructive in last cuttings during drought conditions. When this pest is present, early harvest will often eliminate the problem. However, if the crop is more than 2 weeks from cutting and 25 to 30 percent of the terminals are webbed, treatment is suggested. Use sufficient gallonage and pressure to thoroughly cover and penetrate the foliage.
