Likewise, severity of borer damage, as evidenced by the % stem tunnelled and % cob damaged, was directly proportional to numbers of attacking larvae.
Filled pods were removed from the grain legumes, and cobs were removed from the maize leaving the enfolding sheath attached to the plants.
On the cob, with certain procedures, it could be stored for a week to 10 days.
The grain was separated from the pods or cob, and the latter termed 'threshing residues'.
The data represent yields of sweetcorn cobs, expressed as kg per plot multiplied by 10.
During the first and second seasons of 1997, stem tunnelling was significantly higher and cob weight significantly lower for maize without elephant grass (table 3).
Moreover, the legumes were sown when maize was either tassling or developing cobs, by which time the legume was likely to suffer from shade effects.
Five kilograms of cobs from each plot were dried, shelled and the g rain yield deter mined after adjustment to 13% water content.
