Resistance of exotic germplasm to the Asian maize stalk borer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe)
Main Article Content
Abstract
In recent years, at CIMMYT, Mexico, the Entomology Unit in collaboration with CIMMYT breeding program developed lines/hybrids with reasonable level of tolerance against sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius, Southwestern corn borer, Diatraea grandiose/la Dyar and Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith. The differential reaction of exotic maize germplasms to C. parte/lus has been reported by various workers in the past [1-8]. In the present investigation the promising exotic borer resistant CIMMYT (bred for borer resistance there) lines were evaluated for their reaction to C. partellus under artificial infestation.
