    This data was collected in order to determine the phenology of adult hazelnut weevils (Curculio obtusus) within interspecific hybrid hazelnut (Corylus americana x Corylus avellana) plantings in Minnesota and identify hazelnut factors that might be driving the weevils within-field abundance and infestation/damage in the crop between different hazelnut genotypes. Adult hazelnut weevil lay eggs into developing hazelnuts and their larvae then develop inside hazelnuts, devouring the edible kernel, directly impacting crop yield. Therefore, the objective was to determine when this behavior occurs in the Minnesota crop and to identify any plant-level or nut-level factors driving spatial trends in their abundance and nut infestation within the hazelnut plantings.
