Abstract
Analysis of data from a 9 X 9 diallel, involving parents with different degrees of resistance to the pests, revealed that (1) additive genetic variance was significant and greater than nonadditive genetic variance for both Atherigona soccata and Contarinia sorghicola, (2) general combining ability variances were greater than specific combining ability (SCA) variances for both pests, (3) recessive genes conditioned susceptibility to A. soccata while dominant genes conditioned susceptibility to C. sorghicola, (4) desirable general combiners did not exhibit good SCA effects, (5) narrow-sense heritability for resistance was low for both pests, and (6) the cross S Girl MR1 X IS6394 showed the desired SCA effects for both pests and yielded c. 30% more than the best control, CSH8R
