Abstract
When maize, sorghum and pearl millet were infested with newly hatched larvae of Diatraea grandiosella Dyar in the greenhouse in the USA, survival was highest on maize, the primary food-plant of the borer. Larval establishment was poor on millet and intermediate on sorghum. Larval weight was highest on maize, followed by sorghum and millet in that order. Field-collected larvae were largest from maize; those from sorghum and millet were of similar size. In the field, larval establishment was poor on both sorghum and millet
