Survival ofCoelaenomenodera lameensis(Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Relation to the Physical Characteristics of Different Oil Palm (Elaeissp.) Breeding Populations
Abstract:The edibility of different Elaeis sp. breeding populations present in Benin was tested for the leaf miner Coelaenomenodera lameensis Berti (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a major oil palm pest in Africa. Experiments carried out in sleeves revealed the oviposition capacities of females and the mortality rates for the different developmental stages by comparing the populations found on two breeding populations of Elaeis oleifera (HBK) Cortes, four of Elaeis guineensis Jacquin and four (E. guineensis × E. oleifera) … Show more
