Default japanese beetles, selecting for smarter jbs, etc.
In article ,
says...

so as a magnet crop (attract the bugs away from
the other surrounding plants where you can pick
them off) edamame soybeans sure look to be good.
all the surrounding bean plants had minimal damage
(probably most of it from grasshoppers) and the
soybeans were getting chewed up.

Use evening primrose as a trap crop for japanese beetles.
