Pulse School: Pea leaf weevil damage happens below ground

Once peas have emerged and get growing, it's time to scout for pea leaf weevil feeding. Feeding by adult pea leaf weevils creates notches on the clam shell leaves, but it's the damage done by larvae feeding on the roots that causes economic losses in pea crops.
Pea leaf weevil is not an issue in all pulse growing regions, but in parts of Alberta and an expanding area of Saskatchewan it is a significant pest of pea crops.
In this Pulse School episode, Jay Byer, manager and agronomist with Gateway Research Organization, explains how to scout for the weevil, what damage the pest can do, and what farmers can do about managing the pest.
