The lepidopterous stem borers Sesamia calamistis Hampson (Noctuidae) and Eldana saccharina (Walker) (Pyralidae) are among the most important insect pests of maize in West Africa. Efforts to breed for resistance to these two borer species are an integral part of a project to develop control practi...

The effects of maize variety and storage form on development of the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, were studied under artificial infestation at 25 ± 2 °C and 70 ± 5% r.h. in the laboratory. Three improved West African maize varieties, Abeleehi, EV8725-SR, Pop63-SR and the local var...

Host-plant resistance (HPR) to insect pests is considered one of the key tactics for insect control, particularly in developing countries where utilization of other control methods such as pesticides is often difficult or unwise. The search for more sustainable methods of pest control, make host-...
