Pests of Leguminous Crops

  • Chapter
Book cover Vegetable Crop Pests

Abstract

Pests are capable of causing damage to vegetable legumes in various ways. Direct injury may reduce crop yield and the transmission of virus diseases can generally debilitate crops. An indirect effect of pest attack or infestation may result in a reduction of produce quality. This effect is especially important where the edible parts of the crop are destined for the processing plant, where the physical removal of blemished produce is not possible. In such instances the product quality can be so affected that total crop rejection may be the outcome.
