Arthropod Diversity and Management in Legume-Based Cropping Systems in the Tropics

摘要: Despite the wealth of arthropod diversity in legumes, most species are not considered economically important. In this chapter, information on various arthropod communities associated with leguminous crop-based agroecosystems/agroforestry systems as pests (sucking and chewing herbivores) and beneficials like pollinators, natural enemies like parasites and predators, and their ecological roles in these cultivated ecosystems is discussed.
