【Introduction】

   The millet stem fly is the principle pest that does great harm to the millet.
The authors carry out a thorough and systematic study in different ecotopes, which describes many aspects of the pest in detail, such as, its morphological features, its biological features, its ecological features, its artificial rearing techniques, different varieties resistance to it, its natural enemies, the forecasting of its hit and the control techniques. In this book, the authors introduce their approach, their process and the results. Meanwhile, the theory in the book is closely linked to the applied technology, which can be a good reference for the experts, the teachers and students in the universities. Since it is deliberately illustrated, it is also fit for farmers and experts in study and in practice.

●形態学、生物学、生態学、人工飼育技術、品種抗虫性、天敵種類、予測予報と防治技術などから、粟芒蝿研究の総括を紹介。印数1000冊。（図54、表29）
