| Résumé : |
The recent development of research on the taxonomy, biology, ecology and control of the main insect pests of sorghum and pearl millet panicles is reviewed, based on a selected bibliography of papers published during the past decade. The main targets of this research have been the sorghum midge, contarinia sorghicola (coquillet), which occurs almost everywhere that sorghum is grown; the mirid head bugs eurystylus and calocoris, which are important on sorghum in Africa and India, respectively, the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) which attacks sorghum panicles in Africa, Asia and Australia and the millet head miner.
Research on the major pests has intensified during the past decade. Host plant resistance has been developed and other important elements of integrated pest management (IPM) have been identified but few IPM programs have been implemented and there is a continuing need to appreciate and meet the needs of farmers who should be the main beneficiaries of research on their crops. |
