Winged bean [Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC.],
also known as or Goa bean, versatile legume or wonder
legume, is an under-exploited, self-fertilizing tropical
grain legume known for its multifarious usage. It is
unique among leguminous crops in that, several parts of
the plant - leaves, pods, seeds and tubers – are edible
and rich in protein (Garcia and Palmer 1980). In winged
bean, the protein content is 33.82% compared with 35%
of soybean and have been suggested as a potential food
source for the tropics (NAS 1981). It also contains edible
oil (15-20%), Vitamin A (300-900 IU) and also rich in
carbohydrate (Singh et al. 2013). Being a leguminous
crop, it has shown that symbiosis of the plant and the
Rhizobium which is highly promiscuous while in other
legume it is highly specific. Insect and mites are the
major biotic constraints to vegetables production in India.
The crop losses to the tune of 30-40% have been
reported from vegetable crops (Rai et al. 2014). Besides
being pests, many of insects are beneficial serving
aspollinatorsand natural enemies of the pests (parasitoids
and predators).
