First Report of Bean Leafroll Virus in Pea and Chickpea, in Canada.

Bean leafroll virus (BLRV; Bean leafroll virus), a single-stranded RNA virus in the genus Luteovirus, is phloem-limited and primarily transmitted by aphids in a non-propagative, persistent manner (Rashed et al., 2018; Kidanemariam and Abraham, 2023). BLRV infects various legumes and has been reported from major pulse-growing regions worldwide (Agindotan et al.

Development of economic thresholds for pea aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) management in lentil (Fabaceae) based on in-field insecticide efficacy trials.

Pea aphid (Acyrthosiphom pisum Harris, Hemiptera: Aphididae) presents a significant economic challenge to lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) production in the major growing region of Saskatchewan, Canada. During 2019-2020, field experiments were conducted to optimize the management tools for pea aphid control on lentils.

Detection and Identification of a ' Liberibacter solanacearum' Species from Ash Tree Infesting Psyllids.

' Liberibacter' species are associated with severe, economically important diseases. Nearly all known species are putatively insect transmitted, specifically by psyllids. Detection of ' Liberibacter' in plants is complicated by their uneven distribution in host plants and largely fastidius nature.
