A bean pod borer is a destructive pest that primarily affects leguminous crops, particularly beans. It is a small moth belonging to the family Crambidae. The adult bean pod borer has a wingspan of about 15-20 millimeters and is typically gray or brown in color. The larvae of this pest bore into the pods of bean plants, feeding on the developing seeds. This feeding activity leads to reduced crop yield and quality. The infested pods often show signs of damage, including entry holes and frass. The bean pod borer is a significant agricultural pest in many regions, causing economic losses to farmers.
