Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Mined leaflets abscised an average of 12.9 days after the larva emerged to pupate
- Observation No leaflets remained on the alfalfa plant at harvest 29 days after the larva emerged
- Observation Nearly one-half of unmined control leaflets remained on the plant at harvest
- Association Control leaflets that abscised did so an average of 4 days later than mined leaflets
- Intervention effect Harvest at full-bud stage minimized the number of leafminer larvae that matured to pupate in the soil
- Intervention effect Late harvest maximized the number of leafminer larvae that matured to pupate in the soil
- Recommendation Cultural methods can help reduce leafminer populations in alfalfa
