ABSTRACT

A study was carried out to investigate the presence of antibiosis in some sorghum genotypes. First instarChilo partellus Swinhoe (Lepidoptera; Pyralidae) larvae were reared in artificial diets incorporating the different genotypes. HYD I and IS 1044 (check) slowed down 1arvaI development and caused larval mortality. Furtherrilore, significantly fewer eggs were laid by emerging female moths raised on these genotypes.
