Insects and other bean pest in Latin America
Pests may affect bean production, before and after harvest. (1) Those that attack bean seedlings are the seed corn maggot which causes poor germination and deformed seedlings. The most common genera of cutworms include Agrotis, Feltia and Spodoptera; white grubs and crickets also attack the seedling...

| description | Pests may affect bean production, before and after harvest. (1) Those that attack bean seedlings are the seed corn maggot which causes poor germination and deformed seedlings. The most common genera of cutworms include Agrotis, Feltia and Spodoptera; white grubs and crickets also attack the seedlings. (2) Leaf-feeding insects: many species of chrysomelids attack beans. These are also the vectors of BRMV. Several species of Lepidoptera develop on beans, among them the bean leaftoller, the saltmarsh caterpillar and Hedylepta indicata. The Mexican bean beetle is a pest found in many countries. (3) Piercing insects: leafhoppers are the most important pests. Different cultural practices can be used to reduce populations and damage. The planting of beans/maize in association reduces populations. Five species of Aleyrodidae (among them Bemisia tabaci a vector of BGMV and bean chlorotic mottle) live on beans, but they also have other host plants. (4) Pod-attacking insects: bean pod weevil whose chemical control is conducted 6 days after initiation of flowering; the corn ear worm; podborers. (5) Storage insects: the principal pests are Acanthoscelides obtectus and Zabrotes subfaciatus. Weevils can be controled by applying ashes, black pepper, inert dusts, vegetable oils or by chemical control, (6) Spider mites and tropical mites can develop resistance to pesticides. (7) Slugs are not insects but can be serious pests; species are Vaginulus plebeius, Limax maximus and Deroceras agreste. Best control is obtained by cleaning weeds and plant debris; baits can also be used. The principal pests in L.A. are presented in table form; there are color ilustrations of the insects and the type of crop damage. (CIAT) |

(CIAT) Las plagas pueden afectar la produccion de frijol, antes y despues de la cosecha; las perdidas varian de una region a otra, debido a las diferencias que existen en las fechas de siembra, var, y practicas culturales. (1) Entre las que atacan el frijol: mosca de la semilla (Hylemya cilicrura), la cual causa mala germinacion y plantas deformes. El control biologico unicamente se puede emplear con poblaciones bajas y no es totalmente efectivo. Los generos mas comunes de trozadores son Agrotis, Feltia y Spodoptera; los chizas y grillos tambien atacan las plantulas. Los ataques ocurren de manera irregular y son dificiles de predecir; por lo tanto, es mejor combatirlos con cebos que se colocan cerca de las plantas al atardecer. El barrenador del tallo (Elasmopalpus lignosellus) ataca a una gran var. de malezas y plantas cultivadas (2) Comedores de hoja: muchas especies de crisomelidos atacan el frijol. Los generos mas frecuentes son Diabrotica, Neobrotica, Cerotoma y Andrector; son tambien los vectores de BRMV. Varias especies de lepidopteros se desarrollan en el cultivo, entre las cuales estan el gusano cabezon (Urbanus proteus), el gusano peludo (Estigmene acrea) y 1980 2017-06-20T08:51:24Z 2017-06-20T08:51:24Z Book Chapter https://hdl.handle.net/10568/81697 en Open Access application/pdf International Center for Tropical Agriculture Schoonhoven, A.VAN;Cardona, C.1980.
