1. Distribution: Spring 2016
(Vankosky et al. 2016)
1. Distribution: Spring 2017
(Alberta Agriculture and Forestry 2017; Government of Saskatchewan 2017)
• Driving survey of randomly selected pea
fields in May-June
• Pheromone-based survey and monitoring
– Dr. Maya Evenden in AB and Dr. Vankosky in SK
1. Distribution: Surveys
Images: M. Vankosky and E. Willenborg
• Attractive to males and females
• Attractive in Spring and Fall
1. Distribution: Pheromone Monitoring
(St. Onge 2016)
1. Distribution: Scouting
• 3rd – 6th node stage
• 10 locations in field
• 10 seedlings per
location
• Look for terminal leaf
damage

• Primary hosts:
– Field pea (Pisum sativum)
– Faba bean (Vicia faba)
• Secondary hosts:
– Other legumes
– Do not support larval
development
2. Biology and Impact
Howard F. Schwartz, Colorado
State University, bugwood.org
Keith Weller, bugwood.org
Adult foliar damage:
– May kill seedlings
– Reduces pod
production
– Cumulative foliar
damage = 28% yield
loss
2. Biology and Impact
(Jackson 1920; Nielsen 1990)
M. Vankosky
M. Vankosky M. Vankosky
Larval damage:
– Consumption of Rhizobium
leguminosarum bacteria in
root nodules
– 98% nodule loss = 27%
yield loss
– nodule loss = nitrogen
from fixation
2. Biology and Impact
(El-Dessouki 1971; Corre-Hellou and Crozat 2005)

3a. Cultural Control
• Rotate crops
• Plant in high N soil
• Plant in no-till fields

3c. Biological Control
• Small ground beetles
can eat PLW eggs
• Large ground beetles
are reported predators
of adults and larvae
• No parasitoids reported
in Canada yet
(Hamon et al. 1990; Vankosky et al. 2011)
