African rice gall midge (AfRGM), Orseolia oryzivora Harris and Gagne, is one of the major insect pests of lowland/irrigated rice and could result in considerable economic damage. Host plant resistance and biological control appear to be the most promising control measures adopted so far. Three major rice genotypes (Oryza sativa, Oryza glaberrima and interspecific rice, New Rice for Africa (NERICA)) are cultivated in Nigeria. In two consecutive years (2008/09), field experiments were conducted at two eco-sites, using the genotypes to determine their influence on the incidence of the gall midge and percentage parasitism by Platygaster diplosisae, Risbec (Diptera: Platygateridae), an endoparasitoid that has been identified as the most importan...
