Abstract

Stem borers are major insect pests of rice in Africa. The utilization of varietal resistance in the management of these pests, has great economic potentials, as it involves no extra cost to the farmer and is also free from environmental hazards. Investigations into the sources of resistance to the African rice striped borer, Chilo zacconius, some possible factors associated with host plant resistance and the benefits derived from growing resistant varieties are briefly reviewed.

Résumé

Les mineuses de la tige constituent les principaux ravageurs des cultures du riz en Afrique. L'utilisation des variétés resistantes aux ravageurs a des avantages économiques. Surtout qu'elle ne procurera pas de dépenses supplementaires pour le fermier et qu'elle ne posera pas de problèmes en ce qui concerne la protection de l'environment. Les récherches faites sur la base de la resistance de Chilo zacconius aux ravageurs de meme que les facteurs liés a la résistance de la plante-hote et les bénéfices accrues de ces variétés résistantes ont été examinés en bref.
