| Research Abstract |
To clarify the ecological impacts on insect pests and their natural enemies on maize and cowpea in the existing sustainable pest control techniques in Africa, field and laboratory experiments were conducted in West and East Africa including Benin, Nigeria and Kenya. Rational and economical integration of these techniques with novel strategies such as an insect-pathogenic virus and introduced natural enemies for establishing an environmentally-sound pest management system was discussed.
