| dc.description.abstract | The seedling beetle Mesoplatys chroptera is a serious pest of Sesbania sesban and other Sesbania spp.
that are important agroforestry species. Sesbania sesban was compared to Sesbania micrantha, Sesbania
goetzi and Sesbania cinerascens, in a seedling inoculation test for resistance to Mesoplatys ochroptera
using copulating adult instars as inoculum. The uniform susceptibility of Sesbania sesban including
accessions from western Kenya was confirmed. But S. cinerascens was found to be resistant to the pest. | en_US |
