Abstract
A laboratory study was carried out in India to determine the adverse effects of 4 resistant lines of sorghum on various aspects of post-larval development of Chilo partellus (Swinh.). Under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity, the rate of pupation was significantly lower when the larvae were reared on resistant lines than on susceptible ones, and pupae resulting from larvae reared on resistant lines were smaller and lighter than those from larvae reared on the susceptible CSH 1. In addition, females reared on resistant lines laid fewer eggs than those reared on susceptible lines. However, the differences between resistant and susceptible lines with regard to pupal period, percentage adult emergence and incubation period of eggs were not significant
