A large and varied group of insects attack crops of the tropical farmer, and carry various disease-causing organisms to him and his animals. The control of these agricultural pests, and vectors of human and animal diseases relies mostly on chemical pesticides. However, investigations show what alternative methods such as biological control and resistant crop varieties are available, which may be used in the reduction of pest infestation, resulting in an increase in food production by the African farmer
