For farmers cultivating bean family crops such as Soya Beans, Cowpea Common Bean, French Beans among others, often get to interact with the The Bean Fly; a common destructive pest that lays eggs near the leaf stalks of the tender/ young leaves where eggs tend to hatch into maggots that later cause damage and plant loss.

This happens mostly at 3-4 weeks from emergence but later crops are sometimes attacked.

To mitigate these effects, farmers are often advised to;
Practice crop rotation with non host crops e.g maize
Maintain farm hygiene and sanitation
Scouting fields after planting and proper weed control
Use of dressed-seeds to avoid attack by the bean fly
