Abstract

Laboratory and field methodologies for screening for resistance against Chilo partellus on sorghum and maize are reviewed in relation to the insect biology, plant phenology and insect-plant interaction. The value of field and laboratory techniques in achieving the goal to produce resistance varieties and hybrids is discussed. Recommendations for future work are made.

Résumé

Les méthodes en pratique de détermination en laboratoire et sur terrain de la résistance du sorgho et du maïs contre le Chilo partellus sont actuellement en cours de révision en tenant compte de la consitution biologique de l'insecte, de son apparition suivant les saisons climatiques, et de l'interaction entre l'insecte et la plante. L'efficacité des techniques utilisées en laboratoire et sur terrain pour une mise au point des variétés de plante et hybrides résistant au Chilo partellus est à présente très discutée. Aussi des recommendations (ou propositions) ne cessent de nous parvenir concernant les travaux futurs.
