Abstract:
Rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is one of the most destructive pests of stored cereals in Asia, Africa, North America and Europe causing severe economic losses. In this study, the variety GNR-4 was recorded the highest adult emergence (F1), susceptibility index, weight loss, total developmental period and overall performance of rice moth, C. cephalonica, whereas the variety GNR-2 was found the lowest adult emergence (F1), susceptibility index, weight loss, total developmental period and overall performance of rice moth, C. cephalonica. The variety GNR-4 was found to be highly susceptible variety; however, GNR-2 was found tolerant variety against rice moth, C. cephalonica.
