The bean seed beetle (Bruchus rufimanus) is the most damaging pest and responsible for significant losses of grain quality, proceeds and yield in faba bean cultivation, but cannot efficiently be opposed at present. Apart from selection of resistant cultivars, we propose earlier harvest of grains interrupting the beetles’ life cycle for improved pest control.
