Lygus bug on lentil in the United States

  • Chapter
Expanding the Production and Use of Cool Season Food Legumes

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 19))

Abstract

A multidisciplinary, collaborative research effort generated complementary data lending substantial support for the hypothesis that:“Feeding of Lygus spp. on immature pods can lead to reductions in quality and losses in the quantity of seeds harvested from crops of lentil (Lens culinaris)”. Knowledge of research findings on food legumes other than lentil was an important contributory factor in formulating the hypothesis tested. Use was made of the experience and expertise of: farmers, industry administrators, extension specialists, seed graders, food scientists, plant breeders, entomologists, pathologists, botanists, chemists, and physiologists. The element of“novelty” and perceptions of prospects for“success” were important factors in the collaborative research effort. Clearly, specialists cooperating in research directed towards carefully formulated and agreed objectives can make rapid and important advances towards the solving of practical problems in food legume crop production.
