Evaluation of the arthropodological fauna associated with the bean culture (Viciafaba Minor L.) In the naciria region (Boumerdes, Algeria)

The bean is a plant belonging to the Fabaceae family, it is one of the most important legumes in view of its importance in the human diet and its richness in various proteins, as well as its role in the contribution of atmospheric nitrogen in the soil. However this crop is subject to various attacks of diseases and pests, altering the good production of beans. In this context, several studies have been undertaken to study the main pests of the bean as well as the auxiliary insects. The objective of our study is to carry out an exaustive inventory of arthropods present on faba bean cultivation in the region of Naciria (Boumerdes), in order to understand the existing host-pest relations, and to evaluate the number of auxiliary insects that can intervene in a reasoned biological fight, thus respecting the balance of the environment. Sampling of arthropod populations was done using three trapping techniques, namely Barber pots, colored traps, and the sweep net. The results obtained express a richness of 79 species, belonging to 40 families, divided into 11 orders and 5 classes.
