The occurrence of Curculionoidea on alfalfa (Medicago sativa (L.) crops in south-eastern Poland
Journal of Plant Protection Research 41 (1), 31-41
Abstract: The research on the occurrence of Curculionoidea carried out in 1990-1995, in south-eastern Poland showed that Sitona humeralis Steph. was the most numerous species. Its participation among all the collected Curculionoidea was 69.4%. Other species occurring on alfalfa crops were: Hypera postica (Gyll.) -7.7%, Sitona lineatus (L.) -5.0%, Sitona hispidulus (Fabr.) - 4.7% and Apion tenue Kirby 4.4% of the entire entomological material. In the spring, the highest numbers of adult Curculionoidea appeared in mid May and in the second half of September.
