N2  - 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
