description: Grain legumes are a valuable source of protein and  other nutrients for the resource-poor people of the  semi-arid tropics (SAT). This is why ICRISAT  includes chickpea, groundnut, and pigeonpea in its  mandate. However, the SAT climate encourages sudden  outbreaks of the pest populations that can decimate  these important crops. Research on developing  methods of countering these pests involves: (a)  breeding varieties with pest resistance that are  adapted to the conditions of particular zones; (b)  developing other methods of pest control based on a  sound understanding of plant-insect-environment  interactions; and (c) collaborating with other  research specialists to optimize production processes  at the farm level
