Abstract
Abstract The crop losses due to insects in the savannah area of the Ivory Coast during the past few years are presented for the main crops (cotton, maize, irrigated rice, groundnut) and for some stored products (maize, yam). Losses of 60% are found in the southeast of the area for cotton and maize. For these two crops, as well as for stored products, the entomological risk decreases northwards and westwards. For the other crops, losses are similar throughout the whole area, reaching 30% for the irrigated rice whereas groundnut is little attacked (2·4% losses). The main insect pests are mentioned.
