Host plant resistance to insects in pearl millet hybrids and its role in integrated pest management
Abstract The experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2018 at the Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, JAU, Junagadh. Ten hybrids of pearl millet were screened against shoot fly (Atherigona approximata) and stem borer (Chilo partellus). Among these, the hybrids GHB-732 and GHB-1231 were found to be resistant to shoot fly at both stages of the crop. In contrast, the hybrids MSH-339 and MH-2024 were found to be susceptible to shoot fly. Regarding stem borer, the minimum attack was recorded in GHB-1231 at both stages of the crop. Additionally, the hybrids GHB-1231 and GHB-905 were found to be tolerant to stem borer during the vegetative stage of the crop. Key words: shoot fly, stem borer, pearl millet and host plant resistance
