Field screening of international genotypes of rice against gall midge (Orseolia oryzae Wood-Mason) in direct seeded rice ecosystem

The experiment was conducted at Raj Mohini Devi College of Agriculture and Research Station, Ambikapur, during Kharif 2024. The relative occurrence of gall midge on different international rice genotypes was noticed 30 days after sowing (DAS), 45 DAS and 60 DAS. The result revealed that field screening of international rice genotypes against rice gall midge (Orseolia oryzae) as percent silver shoot damage recorded with ranged between 2.34-19.94%. Out of 50 international genotypes, no any genotypes of direct seeded rice was exhibited nil or
