Cereal crops (maize, sorghum, millet, rice) are extremely important crops grown in Africa for human intake. Of the various insect pests attacking cereal crops in Africa, lepidopteran stem borers are by far the most injurious. A parasitoid, Cotesia flavipes, was introduced from Pakistan for biological control of C. partellus and caused a 32–55% decrease in stem borer densities. Stem borers, encompassing the larvae of a group of lepidopterous insects, and parasitic witch weeds, particularly Striga hermonthica and S asiatica, cause major yield losses in subsistence cereal production throughout the country, Ethiopia. Studies are described that have led to the development of a ‘push-pull’ strategy for minimising stem borer damage to maize and so...
