Studies were carried out between 1992 and 1997 in southwestern Benin to investigate the establishment, spread, and impact of Teretriosoma nigrescens Lewis, a natural enemy of the larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn). Trap data, using the 2-component synthetic aggregation pheromone of...

We collected twigs of Lannea nigritiana (Sc. Elliot) Keay attacked by the girdling cerambycid Analeptes trifasciata F. in the Lama forest of central Benin, West Africa. Emergence data from A. trifasciata wood samples revealed a diverse insect fauna, which consisted of 27 primarily coleopteran spe...

The accidental introduction of the lager grain borer, Prostephanus truncates, in the early 1980s result in destructive pest outbreaks in small-farm maize stores in both East and West Africa. Studies comparing the situation in rural maize stores in Costa Rica (in the pest's neotropical area of ori...

In sub-Saharan Africa, urban populations are projected to increase by 115% in the coming 15 years. In addition, economic growth and dietary shifts towards animal source foods have put high pressure and demand on agricultural production. The high ecological footprint of meat and dairy production, ...
