Broad Bean Weevil and Pea Weevil
Bruchus rufimanus and Bruchus pisorum
Verbreitung
Verstärkt in Regionen mit höherer Anbaubedeutung von Erbsen und Ackerbohnen.
Ausbreitung und Übertragung
Der Schädling kann über das Saatgut in Regionen verschleppt werden in denen er noch nicht vorkommt.
Economic importance
The beetle causes feeding damage, which is likely to result in loss of germination capacity and an increase in the level of contamination (especially through infested farm-saved seed). In case of heavy infestation, yield losses may also occur. The beetle is exclusively an outdoor pest and not a storage pest.
Prevention and control
- Use seeds free of infestation
- Insecticide treatment (see list of plant protection products approved in Austria) after the start of flowering or when the first pods appear is possible.
