The importance, geographical and temporal distributions of parasitoids of lepidopterous borers on maize and elephant grass, Pennisetum purpureum, were assessed during surveys in farmers’ fields in six villages and two on-station trials in the forest zone of Cameroon between 1995 and 1996. The bor...

In Africa, livestock production currently accounts for about 30% of the gross value of agricultural production. However, production is struggling to keep up with the demands of expanding human populations, the rise in urbanization and the associated shifts in diet habits. High costs of feed preve...

In cassava chips sampled on a local market in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, West Africa, Dinoderus bifoveolatus Wollaston was the predominant pest. In olfactometer experiments, cassava chips infested by male D. bifoveolatus were highly attractive to both sexes of the beetle, suggesting that male D....

Life table studies of Mussidia nigrivenella Ragonot, a pest of maize in Benin, showed that host plant species had a significant effect on larval survival and developmental time. The maximum percentage of larvae surviving was recorded on jackbean, Canavalia ensiformis (36%) and lowest on maize (18...

The effects of egg clutch size on development and survivorship of the larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Col.: Bostrichidae) on maize were measured in the laboratory using single grains of the white maize variety, TZSR-W, at 30 ± 2°C and 70 ± 5% RH. Varying numbers of P. truncatus...

Laboratory experiments using whole cobs were conducted to examine the effect of varying densities of the larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus and the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais on rate of population increase by the histerid beetle, Teretriosoma nigrescens, a predator primarily of P. t...

This study aimed at an assessment of the potential of the egg parasitoid Telenomus isis (Polaszek) as a biological control agent of cereal stem borers. Therefore, the effects of temperature, host species, host age, and time of host deprivation on the development and the reproductive potential of ...
