Cotesia icipe parasitized and successfully developed in fall armyworm, Spodoptera littoralis and stemborers. The parasitoid preferred Spodoptera spp. to stemborers, and the highest fitness of progenies was recorded from Spodoptera spp. Abstract BACKGROUND Maize production in Africa is hindered by a myriad of biotic challenges, key among them being ...

Abstract The worldwide decline of insects is one of the major challenges for humankind. One of its main drivers is intensive farming, which reduces habitats and food resources for insect populations and causes direct mortality by pesticides. In addition, mowing of grassland poses another threat to insects, especially when it is done frequently, such as
