Abstract

The Azuki bean weevil, Callosobruchus chinensis (L.), is a destructive pest of stored mung bean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] as well as other leguminous seeds. The development of resistant seeds to manage this pest is of current great interest to plant breeders. In this study, we investigated the oviposition preference and development of C. chinensis on two susceptible mung bean cultivars (Seonhwa and Gyeongseon) and one previously reported resistant cultivar (Jangan), compared to the susceptible cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.), cultivar (Yeonbun) using both multiple-choice and no-choice tests. In addition, the development of C. chinensis was also examined at four constant temperatures (20, 25, 30, and 35 °C). Both tests found cowpea to be the most suitable seed for oviposition. Total developmental time from oviposition to adult emergence ranged from 27.01 to 38.2 days, being shortest on cowpea and longest on the mung bean, cv. Jangan. However, no successful development of C. chinensis larvae on mung bean, cv. Jangan, occurred at any temperature. The highest rate of adult emergence and the longest adult longevity both occurred on cowpea and certain mung bean cultivars (Seonhwa and Gyeongseon), with the dramatic exception of cv. Jangan. These results suggest that the higher preference and performance of C. chinensis on cowpea (3.3 egg/seed) and least on mung bean, cv. Jangan (0.4 egg/seed). This information may facilitate the exploration of resistant genetic materials and chemicals associated with seeds for successful breeding. Further studies should examine the chemicals associated with mung bean cultivars and its resistant mechanism to develop a control method against bruchines.
