Mussidia nigrivenella Ragonot is a pest of maize cobs in West Africa. It significantly reduces maize yields and grain quality, with quantitative losses of 2–25% at harvest, and up to 10–15% indirect losses due to an increase in storage pest infestation levels. Infestation by M. nigrivenella also ...

In the Republic of Benin, the scelionid egg parasitoid Telenomus isis (Polaszek) is one of the most important control factors of the noctuid maize stem borer Sesamia calamistis. In the present study, the role of various sources of contact kairomones (male or virgin or mated female moths) and of t...

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...
