Bean Leaf Beetle Pest Profile Photo credit: Kansas Department of Agriculture, Bugwood.org Common Name: Bean Leaf Beetle Scientific Name: Ceratoma trifucata Order and Family: Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae Size and Appearance: The larva is white in color and is shaped cylindrically. The head is dark brown and on the end of the abdomen there is a brown patch. The adults are about 5 to 6 mm in length and can be a variety of colors from yellow to tan or orange to red. They are an oval-shaped insect and are distinguished by a distinct black triangular mark behind the thorax on the wing covers. The wing covers each have two black spots and a black band that goes around the edges. The black spots may be absent sometimes, leaving the triangle the only black color on the wing covers. Length (mm) Appearance Egg 0.8mm Orange to red in color; oval shaped with tapered end; females can lay 250-350 eggs; eggs laid in soil near host plant; hatch in 4-14 days. Larva/Nymph 9mm White; cylindrical shaped; brown head; brown patch on end of abdomen; three instars. Adult 5-6mm Can be yellow, tan, orange or red in color; oval shaped; have distinct black triangular mark behind thorax on wing covers; wing covers with two black spots and black band around the edge; black head. Pupa (if applicable) White; immobile; resembles adult in shape; pupate in earthen cell in soil. Type of feeder (Chewing, sucking, etc.): Larvae and adults: Chewing Host plant/s: A wide variety of legumes serve as host plants. The bean leaf beetle is most damaging to the soybean, but it will also damage garden beans. Other hosts include snap beans, peas, and dry beans. Description of Damage (larvae and adults): Adult bean leaf beetles chew small holes in young plant tissue and feed primarily on the undersides of leaves. Adults can defoliate young plants, especially if there is a high population of them. The vigor and yields of bean plants can be reduced due to high feeding damage. The adults primarily damage leaves and pods on soybean plants with their chewing mouthparts. Larvae are root feeders and feed on root nodules and girdle roots; however, the damage is not significant. The bean leaf beetle can vector bean pod mottle virus to soybeans. References: Bean Leaf Beetle. (2009). Purdue University Extension.

Case Study 1: Farmers: Bob & Sally Jenson Location: Minnesota, USA Crop: Soybeans Problem: Bean Leaf Beetle1 Agronomist Report: An agronomist inspected this crop and noticed that all stages of plant growth were impacted. There is a decrease in crop yield and poor seed quality. The beetles are feeding on pods and breaking the pods, as well as scarring the leaves allowing for fungal pathogens to enter. Last, the agronomist report said this beetle was carrying a virus to the plant called bean pod mottle virus, which is mainly a concern if the Jenson’s are selling their soybeans for food because it affects the seed coat quality. 1.

To better understand the economic injury level of this pest for snap bean production, field cage and manual-defoliation studies were conducted in Virginia. In the manual-defoliation study, snap bean plants had significant yield loss when > 25% of leaf area was removed over a two week period. In the field cage experiments, I was unable to establish beetle densities per plant that were significant enough to impact yield despite releasing up to 1,000 beetles in a cage with 60 bean plants. BLB densities averaged 2.7 BLB per plant in those high density cages. To better understand host plant selection by BLB, laboratory and field choice experiments were conducted in snap bean, lima bean, and soybeans.

  • Bean Leaf Beetle
    BEAN LEAF BEETLE Soybean Pests Overview The bean leaf beetle (BLB) (Cerotoma trifurcata) is a common soybean pest that feeds on cotyledons, leaves, and pods. The trend to milder winters in the past decade is favoring the greater survival of overwintering adults. Growers are also planting soybeans earlier than ever and the combination of the two is increasing the potential for early season damage. Early planted soybeans and especially the first fields to emerge in an area is where seedling feeding injury by overwintering beetles is most likely to occur. Feeding injury is recognized by small round or oval holes on soybean leaves. Early season feeding by BLB seldom results in economic yield losses as seedlings usually recover. A second population peaks during the pod-fill stages, however, and feeding by this population can cause extensive damage to pods, seed yield, and seed quality. Complete pod loss can occur when adults feed at the base of the pod. This type of injury is referred to as “pod clipping.” Feeding on the outer pod wall leads to pod lesions and seed damage. Damaged pods are also more susceptible to rotting and discoloration by late season fungal diseases such as pod and stem blight. Bean leaf beetles can transmit viruses In addition to the physical injury to the plant, BLB are known to transmit bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) from plant to plant as they feed. Overwintering adults and the first generation can bring BPMV into the field from weedy alternate hosts and the second generation can spread it further into the field.
