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...
