"Food legumes such as chickpea, pigeonpea, cowpea, field pea, lentil, faba bean, blackgram,\r\ngreengram, grasspea, and Phaseolus beans play an important role in the daily diets of peoplf1\r\nworldwide. These crops are damaged by a large number of insect pests, of which pod\r\nborers, Helicoverpa armigera and H. punctigera; spotted pod borer, Maruca vitrata; spiny\r\npod borer, Etiella zinckenella; pod fly, Melanagromyza obtusa; leaf miner, Liriomyza\r\ncicerina; stem fly, Ophiomyia phaseoli; pea and bean weevil, Sitona spp.; aphids, Aphis\r\ncraccivora, Aphis fabae, and Acyrthosiphon pisum; white fly, Bemisia tabaci; defoliators,\r\nSpodoptera litura, S. exigua, and Amsacta spp.; leafhoppers, Empoasca spp., thrips,\r\nMegaleurothrips dorsalis, and Caliothrips indicus; blister beetles, Mylabris spp.; and the\r\nbruchids, Collasobruchus chinensis and Bruchus pisorum cause extensive losses worldwide.\r\nBecause of development of resistance to insecticides in several insect species, there is a need to integrate different control tactics. Sources of resistance to insects in grain legumes\r\nhave been identified, but these have not been used effectively in crop improvement. There\r\nis a need to place greater emphasis on utilization of wild relatives of crops with different\r\nresistance mecharusms, genetic engineering of plants for insect resistance, and identificatiorl\r\nof molecular markers associated with resistance to insect pests. Cultural manipulation of the\r\ncrop and its environment, population monitoring and pest forecasting, manipulation of the\r\ncrop environment to encourage the activity of natural enemies, use of natural plant products\r\nand bio-pesticides alone or in combination with synthetic pesticides, deployment of insectresistant\r\nvarieties derived through conventional breeding, wide hybridization, or genetic\r\nengineering, and rational use of selective chemicals can be exploited for pest management in\r\nfood legumes."^^ .
