Extract

Studies on insects affecting seed and forage production of legume crops were begun in eastern Ontario in 1951. Since little was known of what species of insects were of economic importance in these crops in this area, the primary objects of the studies were to determine what species of insects damage the forage crop legumes, their seasonal occurrence and abundance, and something of their importance. Observations were made as well on some of the beneficial insects found in association with the crops.
