One thousand five hundred and seven tasselled maize plants in Lusaka and 96 in a rural village where mosquitoes were plentiful, have been surveyed. About 28% of plants contained water mainly around developing cobs. No mosquito larvae were found. It is concluded that maize slashing as part of the programme for malaria control is unjustified.
