Natural enemies of the maize cob borer Mussidia nigrivenella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in Benin, West Africa
Mussidia nigrivenella Ragonot is a pest of maize cobs in West Africa. It significantly reduces maize yields and grain quality, with quantitative losses of 2–25% at harvest, and up to 10–15% indirect losses due to an increase in storage pest infestation levels. Infestation by M. nigrivenella also sig...
