Abstract
Leguminous crops are cultivated on a small
scale for subsistence by economically poor farming communities. These crops are
currently underutilized or ignored, even though they provide a useful source of
protein and can increase rural food security. Research and development work is
being carried out to improve grain quality and increase the productivity of
these crops, but both are affected by pest infestations. Hence, an incidence of
stink bugs associated with leguminous crops was studied in the agricultural
fields of Chh. Sambhajinagar district. Nezara
viridula also called stink bug is one of the most
important pentatomid insect pests in the world. It is cosmopolitan and
highly polyphagous on many important food and fibre crops. It was observed that
there is severe infection of stink bugs on leguminous crops which can affect
the crop yield.
