Nour, A.M. Ampong-Nyarko, K. Odindo, M.O. maize stem borers zea mays genotypes Open Access Journal A study was conducted at six sites of Kenya Coastal region to evaluate candidate maize genotypes for inclusion in stem borer IPM package for the area. Stem borer infestation/damage during the trial period were rather low but nonetheless, significant differences were observed between the insecticide (Carbofuran) and/orBacillus thuriengiensis (Bt) treated plots and the control. Yield loss due perhaps to levels of tolerance of the genotypes varied from 7 to 23%. Generally, varietal crosses were higher yielding than the open pollinated populations with grain yield itself being primarily influenced by number of ears harvested per plot. Therefore, tendency towards prolificacy also determined the choice of ICZ5, IC92M2 and IC92M5 as possible candidates. 2010 2018-01-16T12:03:34Z 2018-01-16T12:03:34Z Journal Article Ajala, S.O., Nour, A.M., Ampong-Nyarko, K. & Odindo, M.O.
