In the years 1992-1994, studies were carried out on the occurrence, harmfulness and chemical control of the broad bean weevil on broad bean crops at different dates. A maximum of the beetle occurrence on the plantation under study was noted in III decade of June and in I decade of July. Seed damages caused by this pest ranged from 31.3 to 45.7%. The best time for the broad bean weevil control on broad bean was in the stage of pod formation. The application of the insecticide Karate 025 EC at the rate of 0.3 dm³/ha caused limitation of seed damages, on the average, by 19. 7%, which gave a mean yield gain of 0.3 4 t/ha.
