Abstract
In the dry season of 1972 at Samaru, an irrigated plot of sorghum cv. R960 was bordered by 2 plots of irrigated awned wheat and the whole area was attacked by weaver birds (Plesiositraga cucullatus cucullatus). Grain yield loss was 100% in the sorghum, but the wheat was virtually undamaged. At Kakawa, grain yield loss from weaver birds in adjacent irrigated plots of millet [Pennisetum americanum] and maize was 80% and nil, respectively
