Abstract

When 48 improved sorghum lines were evaluated for their relative susceptibility to Myllocerus undecimpustulatus var. maculosus Desbr. (M. maculosus) in field-plot tests in New Delhi, India, the number of plants damaged and severity of damage 40 days after germination showed that 5 lines were less susceptible, 14 moderately susceptible, and 29 highly susceptible. The less susceptible lines included SPH-6, 22E, CSV-3, 3660A X 370 and 36A X 148.ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:Of 48 improved lines screened in field plots at New Delhi, India, SPH6, 22E, CSV3, 3660A X 370 and 36A X 148 were the least susceptible
