A trial was set up in northern Benin to evaluate the potential of Teretrius nigrescens to reduce the infestation and damage to cassava chips caused by storage insects. Cassava chips were stored for 5 months in mud silos and 50 adults of T. nigrescens were added when the stores were first filled. ...

Natural insect infestation in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz subspecies esculenta)
and yam (Dioscorea spp.) chips was evaluated during two consecutive storage seasons (2003Ð2004 and
2004Ð2005) in two agroecological zones of Benin (Northern Guinea Savanna [NGS] and Sudan
Savanna [SS]). The inse...

BACKGROUND: Maize constitutes the main staple food and most important crop grown in Zambia. However, maize incursconsiderable losses both in field and storage due to pathogens and insects. Some of the pathogens and resultant mycotoxinsreduce the nutritional quality of the product. Mycotoxins are ...
