"An Updated Review of Research on Heliocheilus albipunctella (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), in Sahelian West Africa"^^ . "In the Sahelian region of West Africa, pearl millet, which is a major subsistence food crop supporting families’\r\nlivelihoods, is regularly attacked by the millet head miner/spike worm, Heliocheilus (=Raghuva) albipunctella de\r\nJoannis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). The pest infestation levels, damage ratings, and yield losses vary within and\r\namong countries because of differences in millet cultivars, the planting period, the onset time and seasonal\r\ndistribution of rains, synchronization of moth flight with head development stages, and pest control practices. Egg\r\nlaying by moths and the distribution of larval populations are governed by the development stages of millet head\r\nand the soil type. Rainfall patterns affect the distribution of diapaused pupae. The implications of this information\r\nfor future pest control strategies are discussed in this review. Control measures including the planting of pest\r\ntolerant/resistant cultivars, the application of chemical pesticides, and the abundance of natural enemies have had\r\nsignificant impacts on larval mortality but have limited application. In recent years, augmentative releases of the\r\nlarval ectoparasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), have been tested in a pilot project\r\nin Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Senegal. Because of the success of the program and the increasing demand\r\nfor parasitoids farmers cooperatives are being engaged in producing parasitoids for the large-scale distribution\r\nof ‘ready-to-use’ bags containing braconids. This would sustain continuous availability and generate profitable\r\nbusinesses. To achieve this goal, farmers’ economic problems and technical challenges need to be resolved at the\r\nvillage level, and marketing avenues need to be established."^^ . "2019" . . "10" . "1" . .
