Research led by Dr. Julie Soroka of AAFC-Saskatoon has resulted in a new Fact Sheet summarizing the biology and management of the Alfalfa weevil (Curculionidae: Hypera postica) which growers can view here.

Textual summary, photos of the weevil, the damage it causes AND the parasitoid that attacks it are all featured to aid in-field scouting and management of the Alfalfa weevil.
