Abstract
In greenhouse and field tests in the USA, sorghum seedlings were initially stunted when exposed to infestations with Blissus leucopterus leucopterus (Say) for 7 days. The forage variety Early Sumac incurred 28 and 61% plant mortality by infestation levels of 5 and 10 bugs/plant, respectively, but the final yields of surviving plants transplanted to the field did not differ significantly from that of the controls. All the plants of the grain hybrid DeKalb DK-61 survived and visually recovered but grain yields were reduced by 28 and 68% at the 2 infestation levels
