Progress in breeding for resistance to maize stem borers sesamia calamistis and Eldana saccharina in West and Central Africa
The pink stem borer (Sesamia calamistis Walker (Pyralidae)) and the sugarcane borer (Eldana saccharina Hampson (Noctuidae)) are among the most damaging pests of maize in West and Central Africa, a region where IITA invests considerable effort in improving productivity of maize-based systems. The use...
