The crop was harvestedJuly 1 to 3, and the amount of damage to bean pods recorded. The podswere sorted immediately after picking, and all pods with any feeding marksweighed separately. Table 30 and Figure 9 give the results summarized. 10 50 100 number of larvae on 40 plants-log scale 500 1000 Figure 9. Relation between number of larvae surviving treatment anddamage to bean pods, first-generation Mexican bean beetle, 1942. for treatments. The trend here is exactly the same as in the case ofdamage to foliage. Large increases in numbers of surviving larvae pro-duced only a small amount of additional damage to pods.
