Abstract

Among the 20 rabi sorghum genotypes evaluated for the resistance against rice weevil, the genotypes like M 35-1, RSJ 1, KMJ 1, AKJ 1 and CSV 216R possessed higher resistance to S. oryzae with respect to different characters like per cent grain damage [M 35-1 (21.20%) KMJ 1 (27.20%), AKJ 1, RSJ 1 (28.00%) and CSV 216R (36.00%)], grain weight loss [ M 35-1 (4.43g), AKJ 1 (5.60g), SMJ 1 (5.60g), RSJ 1 (5.60g) and CSV 216R (7.20g)] and population buildup of rice weevils [AKJ 1 (15.00), KMJ 1 (25.00), M 35-1 (25.50), RSJ 1 (25.50) and CSV 216R (30.50)]. Whereas, BR 33, BJV 44, BRJ 204 and PhuleRevati were susceptible to the pest
