4.6. Entomology report: Sorghum and millet

Abstract

The entomological investigation of the US/ AID, ARS Major Cereals Project in Africa started at Serere, Uganda, in January, 1967. In the past, emphasis was placed on developing sorghum resistance to the sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona varia, and the stalk-borer, Chilo partellus. Investigations have been initiated to develop sorghum resistance to the maize stalk borer, Busseola fusca.
