Abstract:
In order to study the screening of different maize Hybrids against Maize stem borer (Chilo partellus), a field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2022-23 at Dryland Agricultural Research Station, SKUAST-Kashmir. Among the different maize hybrids screened against Chilo partellus, FSCH-258 (1.83), BIO-9681 (3.23), FSCH-131 (3.89), BIO-9637 (4.24), Vivek-39 (4.77) and DKC9117 (5.65) were were found resistant to Chilo partellus while as HQPM-1 Hybrid (8.68) was found susceptible to Chilo partellus. The remaning hybrids tested showed intermediate position and were considered as moderately susceptible.
