Cashew, Anacardium occidentale L. is an important export crop in Benin, but incurs serious damage from the cashew wood borer Apate terebrans Pallas. In spite of its economic importance, the population dynamics of this beetle have never been studied, thus precluding any science-based development a...

Introduction. Knowledge of tephritid diversity in Senegal was poor before 2004, so PIP-COLEACP and CIRAD, in collaboration with Cérès-DPV, carried out, in 2004, trapping for preliminary detection of fruit flies in six orchards in the Niayes zone. Materials and methods. We selected three mixed man...

Misidentification of accessions is a common problem in genebanks. Along the years, mistakes accumulate and this is particularly true when dealing with a large number of accessions requiring annual regeneration. Human errors such as mislabeling or misreading and material mix up during planting or ...

Fruit flies associated with mango trees were monitored in two orchards in Benin using traps baited withmethyl eugenol, terpinyl acetate andToruladuring 2005–2006. Population fluctuations were analysedwith respect to environmental factors including air temperature, relative humidity and rainfall i...

Stem and cob borers cause substantial damage to maize and affect the quality and economic value of maize in West Africa. Manipulation of planting dates is considered a possible mechanism for averting the overall impact of borers and their damage to the crop. Experiments were carried out in southe...

Geographic distribution, relative importance, and effect of lepidopterous stem and ear borers on maize, Zea mays L., were studied in the humid forest and the mid-altitude zones of Cameroon from 1994 to 1997. Six villages were chosen in the forest zone and grouped into three blocks representing gr...
