Bean leaf beetle abundance increased with the increase of soybean production in the 20th century, but their spread northward was prevented by the inhospitality of northern climates. [3] The availability of soybean is the primary constraint for the beetles, so the beetles can’t live in an area that doesn’t have soybeans. [3]
Acceleron Seed Treatment system is a seed coating that protects from insects as well as mold, mildew, and disease. It was developed and patented by Monsanto . The Acceleron Seed Treatment System is available for Genuity Roundup Ready 2 yield soybeans and Smartstax seeds.

Soybeans are grown all over the world and are a primary source of vegetable oil and protein. [1] Approximately 40% of the world's supply of vegetable oil comes from soybeans. [1] Therefore, it is important to guarantee a successful soybean crop every growing season. Bacterial blight can be found in most soybean fields every year in the Midwest. [2]
Soybeans contain significant amounts of phytic acid, dietary minerals and B vitamins. Soy vegetable oil, used in food and industrial applications, is another product of processing the soybean crop. Soybean is a common protein source in feed for farm animals that in turn yield animal protein for human consumption. [4]
In 1999, a review of Roundup Ready soybean crops found that, compared to the top conventional varieties, they had a 6.7% lower yield. [9] This so called "yield drag" follows the same pattern observed when other traits are introduced into soybeans by conventional breeding. [ 17 ]
May 17—New Mexico has had many invaders over the centuries, large, medium and small. The latest is in the latter group: It's a dark, half-inch-long insect with red markings on its belly, known ...
These beetles specialize on legumes of the tribe Phaseoleae, which includes many types of beans used for food. Host plants include mung bean (Vigna radiata), adzuki bean (V. angularis), rice bean (V. umbellata), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), Bambara groundnut (V. subterranea), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), lablab (Lablab purpureus), and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).
