Abstract

Laboratory and field tests were carried out in India to screen 2 maize and 2 sorghum varieties for resistance to Chilo partellus (Swinh.). On the basis of external and internal damage to the plants (percentage dead heart, percentage damaged leaves, percentage tunnelled stems, length of tunnels formed and percentage survival), the maize variety Antigua Gr-1 and sorghum variety 124 were significantly more resistant to the pest than the maize variety Basi Local and the sorghum variety CSH-1
