The black bean aphid is a major pest of sugar beet, bean, and celery crops, with large numbers of aphids cause stunting of the plants. Beans suffer damage to flowers and pods which may not develop properly. Early-sown crops may avoid significant damage if they have already flowered before the number of aphids builds up in the spring. [9]
Damage to beans by larvae of the common bean weevil, Acanthoscelides obtectus The bean weevils or seed beetles are a subfamily (Bruchinae) of beetles, now placed in the family Chrysomelidae, though they have historically been treated as a separate family.
American naturalist Thomas Say described the bean weevil species as Bruchus obtectus in 1831, [1] and was later moved to the genus Acanthoscelides. [4] In a 1870 publication John Lawrence LeConte mistakenly called it Bruchus obsoletus, which led several later author to call it under this name which in fact belonged to another species, and as a result references to A. obtectus in publications ...

The beetle is known for attacking the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), but it readily attacks other beans and peas such as the mung bean (Vigna radiata) and adzuki bean (Vigna angularis). [4] [13] The adult is more likely to seek the legume in which it developed as a larva, but if it is not available or less common, the beetle will utilize another ...

Shelling beans include pinto, black, kidney, fava, and lima beans. Some, like the cranberry bean, have interesting, colorful pods. In general, shelling beans take a longer season to produce a crop.
Some are considered pests because they invade stores of legume foods, such as beans and lentils. They lay eggs on the seeds and the larvae consume them as they develop. They emerge from the seeds as adults. [2] C. maculatus in particular is well adapted to living in dry beans and seeds because it does not require food or water to reproduce. It ...
