The two most prominent stem borer species responsible for damage to maize in South Africa are the African maize stem borer, Busseola fusca (Fuller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and spotted stem borer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) ...
Ecology of maize stemborers in irrigated subsistence farming systems in the Limpopo Province

Stemborer ecology in South Africa has been studied well but largely in maize in commercial monoculture production systems. Stemborers are important pests of maize in resource-poor farming systems at the Tshiombo irrigation ...
Basis of host recognition by the larval endoparasitoids : Cotesia sesamiae Cameron and Cotesia flavipes (Cameron) (Hymenoptera : Braconidae)
(North-West University, 2009)
Host recognition behaviour of two braconid larval parasitoids Cotesia sesamiae and Cotesia flavipes was studied using suitable stemborer hosts [i.e. Busseola fusca for C. sesamiae, and Chilo partellus for C. flavipes] and ...
