51 words

Field trials are being conduced in Kenya to identify sources of resistance, especially multiple resistance to Buseola fusca and Chilo partellus, two devastating pests of maize in sub-Saharan Africa. Genotypes ICSB 464, ICSB 467, Macia, IESV91131DL and ICSA 473 have indicated multiple resistance to the two pests. Further trials are planned.
