ALFALFA SEED PEST.
Resembles Gnat, but Is Much More
Dangerous.

Resembles Gnat, but Is Much More
Dangerous.
Prepared by United States department of
| agricultural
The alfalfa seed destroyer, known
as the chalcis fly, does it's destructive
work in clover or alfalfa seeds, from
the gulf coast to the northern limits
of the United States, according to the
| United States department of agricul-
| lures specialist, who has personally
seen the widespread devastations of
this pest By harvesting severely in
tested crops, by cleaning fence lines
and ditch banks, and by winter cult
walton the grower of alfalfa seed may
help to control this insect.
The chalcis fly under the microscope
! is a formidable looking insect, but
when seen in the field it is frequently
| confused with the gnat. These pests
may be seen in great numbers flying
| over alfalfa seed shocks and swarm
ing over the sickle bar when the alfal-
fl is being cut. The eggs are so small
as to be invisible to the naked eye and
are deposited through the soft. green
seed pods directly into the soft seeds
when the pods are about half grown.
Immediately upon becoming a fly the
insect eats its way out through the
shells of the infested seeds, then
through the green pods. Large por-
lions of the seeds are followed out in
this manner, when they are still green
and growing.
The infested seeds which still contain
the living larvae of the insect may he
recognized by their abnormal shape
and usually by the dull brown color.
Some of the infested seeds, however,
retain their natural color, but they al
ways lack the glossy appearance of
normal seeds. The extent to which al
falfa seed is damaged by the fly is not
generally apparent, owing to the mi
nuteness Of the insect and because it's
destructive work is accomplished with
in the growing seeds. The alfalfa seed
grower can only estimate the percent
age Of his crop destroyed by opening
large number of seed pods and observ-
ing the infested seeds.
An alfalfa field is frequently found
with such a severe infestation by chal-
els flies that the grower considers it of
insufficient value to be harvested and
simply drives in herd of cows to pas
ture the crop. With regard to the con-
troll of the chalcis fly for the protection
of future seed production, this is a
costly mistake. Observations show
that many of the pods burst open,
while others are trampled to the
ground. Here great numbers of infest-
ed seeds offer favorable conditions for
the Information of the chalcis fly lar
vac. These, as mature flies, will infest
the seed crop the following spring.
Under such circumstances the crop
should be moved, removed from the
