Description A head cage technique for monitoring populations of Stenodiplosis sorghicola, a variant of the type previously described for screening sorghum genotypes for resistance, was developed. The technique was effective and efficient in collecting adults from flowering sorghum panicles under field conditions in Andhra Pradesh, India. Adults emerged over 2-3 weeks during the 1992-93 post-rainy and 1-2 weeks during the 1993 rainy season. The activity (density) of S. sorghicola was higher during the rainy than during the post-rainy season
