Abstract
Measurements of feeding damage by adult clover root weevil (Sitona lepidus) on both seedlings and excised leaf material from thirteen pasture legume species were made in four laboratory experiments. Clover root weevil showed no feeding preferences in the choice and non-choice feeding experiments using seedlings. However, in both choice and non-choice experiments using excised leaf material from mature plants, food intake was higher on perennial Trifolium spp. compared to annual Trifolium spp. Feeding on leaf material from mature Medicago spp. and Lotus spp. was very limited in both choice and non-choice experiments.
