During cultivation, lima beans can be vulnerable to numerous pests, including the spider mite, <i>Tetranychus urticae</i>. In large-scale outbreaks, <i>T. urticae</i> can cause significant yield losses or even crop failure, posing a serious threat to agricultural production. The treatment of lima bean plants with <i>T. urticae</i> or alamethicin (ALA) has been shown to enhance their insect-resistant defense responses.
