Bean Thrips
Phaseolus vulgaris L.
Thrips are polyphagous sucking pests that damage bean leaves, buds, and flowers, causing deformation and abscission. In addition to direct damage, these insects act as vectors for viral diseases, such as tomato spotted wilt virus.
In the reference 5 varieties crop Common bean, where this is mentioned in the description.
Common pest species found in bean crops include the western flower thrips, onion thrips, pea thrips, and Caliothrips phaseoli. While feeding, these pests leave characteristic silvery streaks, necrotic spots, and black excrement dots on the leaves. Severe infestations lead to yellowing and premature leaf drop.
Within the inflorescences, thrips feed on pollen and sap, which causes mass flower drop and deformation of developing pods, significantly reducing crop yield. Beyond mechanical damage, they serve as vectors for dangerous viral infections, particularly the tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV).
