 Aphids (Aphis spp.) – Suck plant sap, causing leaf curling and stunted growth.

 Leafhoppers (Empoasca spp.) – Feed on young leaves, leading to yellowing and reduced growth.

 Pod Borers (Maruca vitrata) – Damage flowers and seed pods, reducing seed production.

 Cutworms (Agrotis spp.) – Cut seedlings at the base, leading to plant loss.

 Stem Borers (Etiella zinckenella) – Tunnel into stems and pods, affecting plant vigor.

 Leaf Beetles (Chrysomelidae spp.) – Cause defoliation, reducing photosynthesis.

 Mites (Tetranychus spp.) – Cause leaf discoloration and webbing.


 Leaf Spot (Cercospora spp., Colletotrichum spp.) – Causes brown or black spots on leaves, leading to
defoliation.

 Anthracnose (Colletotrichum spp.) – Leads to dark lesions on stems and leaves.

 Rust (Uromyces spp.) – Causes reddish-brown pustules on leaves.

 Root Rot (Phytophthora spp., Fusarium spp.) – Affects roots, causing wilting and plant death.

 Damping-Off (Rhizoctonia spp., Pythium spp.) – Attacks seedlings, leading to rotting and poor
establishment.

 Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe spp.) – Forms white powdery growth on leaves, reducing plant health.

 Bacterial Blight (Xanthomonas spp.) – Causes water-soaked lesions on leaves and stems.

 Mosaic Virus (Bean Common Mosaic Virus - BCMV) – Leads to mottling and stunted growth.
