Abstract

Major rice stem borers in W. Africa were discussed and scientific investigations relating to varietal resistance were reviewed. Impediments militating against a faster rate of development of this area of research in W. Africa were highlighted. A call was made to accord greater emphasis and priority to research on varietal resistance since in the long run it will become the most important rice crop management tactic feasible for the majority of West African small scale rice farmers.

Résumé

Les principaux foreurs de tiges de l'Afrique de l'Ouest ont été étudiés et les recherches scientifiques relatives à la résistance varietale ont été passées en revue. Les contraintes freinant un développement plus rapide de ce secteur de recherche en Afrique de l'Ouest ont été exposées. Il a été demandé d'accorder une plus grande importance et une priorité à la recherche sur la résistance variétale car, dans le futur, ce sera la meilleure approche réalisable pour la protection des cultures de la majorité des petits exploitants de l'Afrique de l'Ouest.
