Pea weevil (Bruchus pisorum (L.), Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) is a major cosmopolitan pest of pea crops and is established in most pea growing areas of the world. It is a seed-feeding chrysomelid beetle and is not, as its common name would imply, a true weevil, but a bruchid beetle. (Adapted from Voice, D.G., MacLellan, R., Russell, A. et al. The eradication of pea weevil Bruchus pisorum (L.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) from New Zealand. CABI Agric Biosci 3, 31 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1186/s43170-022-00093-8)
Broad bean weevil (Bruchus rufimanus Boh.) is considered an economically important insect pest of the broad bean crop. Its damage starts when larvae burrow into the seed and feed on endosperm or kill the embryo, thus the seed cannot germinate. (Almogdad, M., Jonavičienė, A., & Semaškienė, R. (2023). Bruchus rufimanus Boh. Effect on Broad Bean Seed Quality and the Infection Level of Seed-Borne Fungal Pathogens. Plants, 12(9), 1825. https://doi.org/10.3390/plants12091825)
