The Maize streak virus (MSV) disease has been one of the most devastating diseases of maize (Zea mays L.) in all the countries of West and Central Africa (WCA). For a long time, breeding for resistance to the disease was frustrating because of lack of facilities for uniform artifi cial inoculatio...

Development and regional deployment of streak virus resistant maize germplasm: an overview
Stem borers are one of the major constraints limiting maize productivity in Africa. The most important species reducing maize yield in West and Central Africa are Sesamia calamistis, Eldana saccharina and Busseola fusca. Both the pink stem borer (Sesamia calamistis Walker (Pyralidae) and the sug...

Screening and breeding for resistance to maize stem borers and Eldana in West and Central Africa
The role of four colonizing responses (oviposition, larval arrest, larval establishment and larval feeding) of Sesamia calamistis (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae) in determining the resistance or susceptibility of eight genotypes of maize Zea mays L.) was elucidated. Four resistant (S59-1, 55 1 1-1, 55 27...

The pink stem borer (Sesamia calamistis Walker (Pyralidae)) and the sugarcane borer (Eldana saccharina Hampson (Noctuidae)) are among the most damaging pests of maize in West and Central Africa, a region where IITA invests considerable effort in improving productivity of maize-based systems. The ...
