Abstract

Twenty-seven species of Chilo which infest graminaceous crops are listed. The effects of various cultural practices such as time of planting, plant density, field sanitation, tillage, mulching, intercropping, proper fertilizer and water management on field populations of Chilo spp. are discussed. These practices have great potential as components of IPM for resource-limited farmers in the tropics.

Résumé

Vingt-sept especes de Chilo qui infestent les cultures cerealieres sont enumerees. Les effects de differentes pratiques culturales tels que le choix du moment de culture, la densite des plantes, l'entretien du champ, le labour, le paillage, les cultures mixtes et la gestion appropriee des fertilisants et de l'eau sur les populations de Chilo spp. sont discutes. Ces pratiques ont un potentiel eleve en tant que composantes de la lutte integree pour les paysans sans ressources des pays en voie de development.
