The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
This work collates the information on the advances made in the control of pests of tropical food legumes, namely the cowpea, soybean, groundnut, pigeon pea and other beans. Contributors are entomologists from the IITA, the International Center of Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and researchers working in Africa, Latin America and Asia. An introduction from the USDA covers the general morphology, ecosystems, regions, distributions and uses of the crops. Chapters discuss field and storage pests, examining the taxonomy, identification, biology and bionomics, geographical distribution, status, damage symptoms and control measures for each pest covered. Also features a chapter on virus vestors and transmission of viruses and suggests strategies for future control and management of insect pests.
