  • Chilo species constitute one of the three major lepidopterous rice stem borers in Africa and their occurrence stretches across the different rice ecosystems; two major species, C. zacconius Bles. and C. diffusilineus (J. de Joannis) are found in West Africa, while C. partellus (Swinh.) and C. agamemnon Bles. appear to be the predominant species on rice in East and North Africa, respectively. A brief note is given on some aspects of the biology, especially the life history and behaviour of C. zacconius. Control measures are discussed as well as an integrated approach towards management based essentially on growing resistant varieties, conservation of natural enemies and adjusting planting dates.
