1989
Kannan, H.O. (Rahad Research Station, El-Fau (Sudan))
Dura antad (Agonoscelis pubescens), a primary pest of sorghum, was recorded on faba bean plants late in Jan 1987 at El-Rahad (14 deg N, 34 deg E) which is one of the new areas for expansion of faba bean production in the Sudan. The relative abundance of this pest on four faba bean lines grown at the Rahad Research Station Farm varied: faba bean lines 0075 (H 72 x G1) and 00634 (RB 30 x G1) attracted higher numbers of the insect than lines 0071 (G2 x G1) and BF 2/2. Further studies are needed to determine the extent and magnitude of damage and the economic losses inflicted by this pest
