Importance of Alternative Host Plants for the Annual Cycle of the Legume Pod Borer, Maruca vitrata Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in Southern and Central Benin
The use pattern of alternative host plants by Maruca vitrata was investigated in southern and central Benin. Among the wild host plants, Pterocarpus santalinoides, Pueraria phaseoloides and Centrosema pubescens were found to be key relay hosts during the long dry season, Lonchocarpus sericeus and L....
