Abstract

The biology and behaviour of samples of the sorghum pest Chilo partellus collected from Delhi, Indore, Nagpur and Hyderabad, India, were compared in laboratory studies. Insects of the Delhi population laid more eggs and completed their life cycle more quickly than those of the other populations. In addition, 91.8% of larvae of the Delhi population underwent diapause, as compared with 42.7-61.9% of those of the other populations
