Abstract

The origin of African rice, Oryza glaberrima Steud and Asian rice, O. saliva L., in West Africa is briefly reviewed. Major pests of rice in this region have been listed and the present status of crop protection with reference to rice is discussed. Major constraints to utilization of varietal resistance as a component in crop protection are mainly research-related. The need for manpower development, provision of adequate facilities, standardization of techniques as well as greater emphasis on studies on varietal resistance are highlighted.

Résumé

L'origine du riz Africain, Oryza glaberrima Steud et du riz Asiatique, O. sativa L. en Afrique de l'Ouest a été donnée. Les principaux insectes nuisibles au riz ont été énumérés, et un bref aperçu sur l'état actuel de la protection de la culture du riz a été donné. Les problèmes relatifs à l'utilisation de la Résistance Variétale en tant que composante des méthodes de lutte et qui font l'objet de recherche, ont été relatés. L'accent est aussi mis sur les besoins en personnel et en équipements adéquats, et la standardisation des techniques.
