abstract: The present status of the control of biological agents causing
yield losses in pearl millet is reviewed. The possibilities of controlling
diseases, insect pests, weeds and grain-eating birds by breeding cultivars
with durable resistance are discussed. In future breeding research
in this crop, areas needing to be emphasized include: evaluation of the
nature and inheritance of disease resistance; development of strategies
to increase the durability of resistance to diseases; investigations into
the possibility of using complex multiple barriers to disease pathogens;
additional survey work and the development and use of effective
screening techniques for insect pests; evaluation of integrated control
strategies against insects; development and use of screening techniques
to identify and develop cultivars resistant to witchweed; and investigation
of cultural practices and breeding techniques to control shibra in
Sahelian Africa.
