(Received 25 April, 2001; accepted 5 March, 2002) ABSTRACT A survey was conducted in six agroecological zones (AEZs) in semi-arid eastern Kenya, in May, 1996, to identify the major wild host grasses (abundance > 70%) for stemborers in each zone. The grasses sampled were Pennisetum purpureum Schumach, P. trachyphyllum Pilg., Panicum maximum Jacq, Sorghum versicolor Anderss, Cenchrus ciliaris L. and Cyperus sp. Among these grasses, P. purpureum was the most widespread and abundant. The survey was followed by an on-farm study conducted in each of the six AEZs to determine the relative abundance and distribution of stemborers, that infested the major wild grasses and their parasitoids . This was done by destructive sampling of 100 tillers, at...
