Abstract

The main conclusion of this thesis is that intercropping maize or sorghum with molasses grass does not enhance the foraging behaviour of stemborer parasitoids. Molasses grass seems to be of more importance to the herbivore than the parasitoids. Hence, to clearly understand why stemborer densities were lower in the intercrop than the monocrop, future studies should focus on the interrelations between molasses grass, stemborers and host plants
