Abstract

One of the constraints in developing crop varieties resistant to insects is the occurrence of many pests on a single host. It would be problematic to develop different resistant varieties for different pests. In the case of sorghum the shootfly (Atherigona soccata Rondani), the stem borer (Chilo partellus swinehoe) and the midge (Contarinia sorghicola Coq.) are the major pests...
