Difficulties of identification of natural enemies of cereal stemborers for 'redistribution' in Africa are discussed. Tritrophic level studies on wild and cultivated habitats of borers and beneficial species are needed to judge the impact of a natural enemy species in the cropping system. Areas wi...

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...
