“…Chickpea has a few pest problems in the USA (Miller et al, 2002;Margheim et al, 2004;Glogoza, 2005). Occasional pests in the Pacific Northwest are the western yellow striped armyworm, S. praefica (Grote) (Clement, 1999), pea leaf weevil, Sitona lineatus (L.) (Williams et al, 1991), pea aphid, A. pisum and cowpea aphid, A. craccivora (Clement et al, 2000). The potential pests are early season cutworms, loopers, corn earworm (H. zea), wireworms, aphids, grasshoppers and an agromyzid leafminer.…”

Insect Pest Problems in Chickpea Chickpea (C. arietinum L.) is the third most important legume crop in the world, after dry beans and peas (FAO, 2003). It is cultivated in 42 countries in South Asia, North and Central America, the Mediterranean region, West Asia and North and East Africa. In recent years, it has become an important crop in Australia, Canada and the USA. Nearly 60 insect species are known to feed on chickpea (Reed et al., 1987) (Table 25.1). The important insect pests damaging chickpea in different regions are: • Wireworms: false wireworm-Gonocephalum spp.; • Cutworm: black cutworm-A. ipsilon (Hfn.) and turnip moth-A. segetum Schiff.; • Termite: Microtermes obesi (Holm.) and Odontotermes sp.; • Leaf-feeding caterpillars: cabbage looper-Trichoplusia ni (Hub.), leaf caterpillarS. exigua (Hub.

“…After harvesting a pea crop, adult PLWs have been reported to disperse into chickpea fields, where they feed and lay eggs, raising concerns that chickpea could become a reproductive host. 30 Notching of the chickpea varieties tested in this study was as much as nine times greater compared to lentil but remained at least 94% lower compared to peas. Three larvae were recovered from the 20 chickpea plots in 2020 (Table 4) and one pupa was recovered in 2021 (Table 5).…”

BACKGROUNDMontana accounts for approximately 45% of US dry pea production and the pea leaf weevil (PLW; Sitona lineatus (L.)) is the most common insect pest in this region. After crop emergence adult PLW feed on the foliage to mature and subsequently mate, and the soil‐dwelling larvae feed and develop on the nitrogen‐fixing root nodules. Producers commonly apply prophylactic insecticide treatments to the seed at planting as well as one or two post‐emergent insecticide sprays to control PLW damage. To develop alternative management strategies based on integrated pest management (IPM), this field study evaluated pulse crops grown in Montana for adult feeding preference and larval development. Ten different field pea varieties, along with two faba bean, lentil and chickpea varieties, were evaluated during the 2020 and 2021 field seasons at the Montana State University Arthur H. Post Agronomy Farm.RESULTSSignificant PLW pest pressure was observed within the research plots during both experimental years. Field pea and faba bean were preferred by the foliage feeding adult stage, with all but one variety averaging 39.2 to 86.3 average notches per plant. The pea variety Lifter was significantly preferred over all other comparisons, averaging 142.4 and 95.0 notches per plant in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Adult PLW feeding on lentil and chickpea was minimal, averaging 3.3 to 8.2 and 0.5 to 1.6 notches per plant, respectively. Numbers of larvae were highest on the roots of pea varieties, a known reproductive host, and almost nil on lentil and chickpea roots. Faba bean is also known as reproductive host, but, unexpectedly, larval populations were also low on the two faba bean varieties.CONCLUSIONSThe results from this study provide some limited evidence for alternative IPM strategies for field peas based on host plant tolerance or resistance within the range of varieties tested. Adult preference and larval development of PLW varied between the different pulse crops with field peas and faba beans being the most susceptible and lentils and chickpeas being the least susceptible. Host plant resistance against PLW could provide more sustainable IPM approaches in the future. © 2024 The Authors.

“…Larvae feed on nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium leguminosarum Frank (Rhizobiacea) bacteria associated with root nodules (Fig. 1), along with nodule tissues of reproductive host plants (Johnson and O'Keeffe 1981;Hamon et al 1987), and to a lesser extent, on chickpeas (Williams et al 1991). Pea leaf weevil larval feeding reduces nitrogen availability for field pea plants (Cárcamo et al 2015), seed nitrogen content, soil nitrogen input (Doré and Meynard 1995;Corre-Hellou and Crozat 2005), and yield (Hunter 2001;Corre-Hellou and Crozat 2005).…”

A fluorometric assay to estimate pea leaf weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) larval feeding damage using leghaemoglobin in root nodules of faba bean (Fabaceae)

The pea leaf weevil, Sitona lineatus Linnaeus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is an invasive pest of field pea, Pisum sativum Linnaeus, and faba bean, Vicia faba Linnaeus (Fabaceae). Larvae feed on leguminous root nodules and associated Rhizobium leguminosarum Frank (Rhizobiacea) nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Larval feeding causes economic damage, but the current method to assess nodule damage is laborious. Leghaemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule in root nodules, is degraded as larvae feed. Measurement of leghaemoglobin could be an alternative method to estimate larval damage. Here, we developed a fluorometric assay to measure the variation in haem fluorescence, which relates to leghaemoglobin content, from nodulated roots. Roots were collected from caged faba bean plants with or without weevil infestation. Faba bean yield and haem fluorescence were inversely correlated with the percent damaged nodules. A plant growth score was positively correlated with haem fluorescence. This method can be used to assess nodule damage in pulse crops from pea leaf weevil and potentially from other biotic stresses, and it may have wider application to studies of nitrogen fixation.
