abstract: This handbook has been published to help agricultural
scientists and students to identify the common insect
and mite pests of the sorghum crop at all stages of
growth, and in storage.
To create awareness about the benefit of natural
enemies there is a section on the more well known
predators and parasites of sorghum pests. General descriptions
of the pests and color illustrations are provided
to facilitate identification. There are brief descriptions of
the biology, nature, and symptoms of damage together
with suggested control measures. Chemical control
should be applied only if really necessary, and a plant
protection specialist should be consulted beforehand, if
possible. It is always preferable to confirm the identity of
pests with the help of professional entomologists and to
collect specimens for future identification when the
opportunity arises.
