Evidence of the establishment of Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a parasitoid of cereal stemborers, and its host range expansion in Ethiopia
(Cambridge University Press, 2003-04)
Three lepidopteran cereal stemborers, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) (Crambidae), Busseola fusca Fuller, and Sesamia calamistis Hampson (Noctuidae) were collected from maize and sorghum in Ethiopia. The noctuid stemborers are ...
Effect of the host plant on the survivorship of parasitized Chilo partellus Swinhoe (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) larvae and performance of its larval parasitoid Cotesia flavipes Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
(Elsevier, 2005-02)
The effect of wild and cultivated gramineous hosts on the survivorship and weight of parasitized Chilo partellus larvae and on the performance of its larval parasitoid Cotesia flavipes were studied under laboratory conditions, ...
Comparative evaluation of Cotesia flavipes and C. sesamiae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) for the management of Chilo partellus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in Kenya
(Cambridge University Press, 1999-02)
Cotesia flavipes Cameron, a gregarious larval endoparasitoid native to the Indo-Australian region, was imported from Pakistan and released in Kenya in 1993 for management of the exotic stemborer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe). ...
Ecological management of cereal stem borers in Ethiopia
(2014-06-23)
Three lepidopterous stem borers were reported on maize in Ethiopia. Although complete crop loss is evident in some areas, the average yield loss of maize caused by cereal stem borers in Ethiopia can be estimated between ...
The effect of temperature and humidity on the bionomics of six African egg parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2006-06)
The life table statistics of six native Kenyan species/strains of Trichogramma and Trichogrammatoidea were established using a factitious host Corcyra cephalonica, Stainton (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), at eight different ...
Effect of Temperature on the Development of Orius albidipennis Reuter, a Predator of the African Legume Flower Thrips, Megalurothrips sjostedti Trybom
(Cambridge University Press, 2002-09)
The effects of temperature on the development of Orius albidipennis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), reared on its prey, Megalurothrips sjostedti (Trybom) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), were studied in the laboratory. Nymphal ...
Behaviour and biology of Chilo partellus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on maize and wild gramineous plants
(Cambridge University Press, 2007)
The ovipositional response, larval orientation, larval settling, feeding, food assimilation, growth and development of maize stemborer Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on a susceptible maize (Zea mays L.) ...
Behaviour and biology of Chilo partellus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on maize and wild gramineous plants
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-12)
The ovipositional response, larval orientation, larval settling, feeding, food assimilation, growth and development of maize stemborer Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on a susceptible maize (Zea mays L.) ...
Evidence of the establishment of Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in continental Africa
(Cambridge University Press, 1995-12)
Cotesia flavipes Cameron has been released several times in Africa for biological control of gramineous stem borers. Establishment has been reported on the Indian Ocean islands of Mauritius, Réunion and Madagascar, however, ...
Dispersal of the exotic parasitoid Cotesia flavipes in a new ecosystem
(Wiley, 2001-02)
A study on the dispersal of the exotic larval endoparasitoid, Cotesia flavipes Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), was conducted in a maize field in the northern Kilifi District in the coastal area of Kenya. Because C. ...
