Studies on the biology and damage caused by bean pests Diabrotica balteata and Cerotoma facialis have been conducted at CIAT since 1977. The biology of the 2 species is similar in many aspects. Life cycle is as follows: eggs, 6-7 days; 1st larval instar, 3-4 days; 2nd instar, 2-3 days; and 3rd in...

Significant advances in increasing tolerance to the leafhopper Empoasca kraemeri Ross & Moore in common bean have been obtained using a new breeding scheme where yield under leafhopper attack is the principal selection criterion in the evaluation of progenies. However, to further refine this bree...

An expt. to study the background soil effects associated with var. resistance in bean pest populations, virus incidence and yield was carried out at the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT), Palmira, Colombia from Jan.-March, 1978. The effect of the treatments and of the var. on Em...
