Abstract
The seedling beetle Mesoplatys chroptera is a serious pest of Sesbania sesban and other Sesbania spp. that are important agroforestry species. Sesbania sesban was compared to Sesbania micrantha, Sesbania goetzi and Sesbania cinerascens, in a seedling inoculation test for resistance to Mesoplatys ochroptera using copulating adult instars as inoculum. The uniform susceptibility of Sesbania sesban including accessions from western Kenya was confirmed. But S. cinerascenswas found to be resistant to the pest.
