AbstractThe oviposition, larval arrest and establishment by the stem borer Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) were measured on different maize genotypes during anthesis. The maize genotypes tested were: Inbred A (Susceptible), Mp 704, MBR-8637, MBR-8650, MBR-8668, Poza Rica 7832, ER-29 SVR, Katumani Composite B, MMV 400, Bulk CG 4141, and ICZ2-CM. The moths oviposited on the middle leaves of the plant and the neonate larvae moved to leaf sheaths and ear husks to feed (arrest). As they grew older, the larvae invaded the stem, ear shanks and tassel to complete feeding (establishment) and to pupate. The response of the stem borer differed with resistant and susceptible maize genotypes at anthesis. More eggs were laid and larval arrest was higher on the susceptible than on resistant genotypes. Genotypes also differed in the resistance of feeding sites to larval establishment; the genotype Poza Rica 7832 showed resistance to larval establishment in the stems and ears, but the shank was heavily infested. By contrast, MBR 8637 showed greater resistance to larval establishment in the shank than the other genotypes. These resistance sources could be utilized effectively in a maize breeding programme to develop varieties with moderate to high levels of resistance at all potential feeding sites.

AbstractThe comparative influence of Busseola fusca (Fuller) and Chilo partellus (Swinhoe), both as separate and mixed populations, on growth and yield of grain sorghum was investigated in a field experiment, using an artificial infestation in cages. C. partellus was more injurious than B. fusca as indicated by whorl damage, stalk injury and yield loss. In the case of mixed populations, dispersion of larvae and damage were independent of B. fusca numbers. A regression equation, Logit Y = 0.24 + 2.06 logit x, relating visible plant damage to yield loss was determined. Control strategies in the case of mixed stem borer populations should be directed against C. partellus.

AbstractMyosoma nyanzaensis sp. n. is described and illustrated, and is distinguished from the only other known Old World species, M. chinensis (Szépligeti) comb. n. (= Bracon chinensis Szépligeti). M. nyanzaensis is the first species of the genus to be described from the Afrotropical Region, where it has been reared as a gregarious ectoparasitoid of larvae of the pyralid moth Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) infesting maize and sorghum.
