MAIZE INBREDS TOLERANT TO TISSUE BORERS, CHILO PARTELLUS AND ATHERIGONA SPP.

Published on Jul 07, 2018 11:25 AM

Forty three inbred lines were evaluated against maize stalk borer, Chilo partellus
(Swinhoe) under artificial infestation during khari! (rainy) season and under heavy
natural infestation against shoot fly species (Atherigona soccata Rondani and A. naqvii
Steyskal) during spring season. The persual of data reveals that two inbreds namely,
IPA 34 - 10 - 13 - 3 - 1 - 1 - # - 2 - 1 and IPA 3 - 6 - 14 - 2 - # - 1 were least
vulnerable to both the tissue borers, C. partellus and Atherigona spp. These inbreds
may be designated as multiple pest resistant sources and should be used while
developing varieties or single/double cross hybrids.
