SUMMARY
Sixty-two forage sorghum genotypes were evaluated against shoot fly, Atherigona soccata Rondani and spotted stem borer Chilo partellus Swinhoe during Kharif 2021 at Forage Section Research Farm, CCS HAU, Hisar (India). The data on leaf glossiness was recorded on visual score basis and shoot fly and stem borer dead heart per cent was also worked out. Genotypes viz., SPH 1995, SPV 2705, SPV 2704, CSV 21F, SPV 2797 and SPV 2878 were recorded resistance to shoot fly, having less dead heart per centage. Genotypes viz., SPV 2861, SPH 1993, SPH 1967, SPV 2705, SPV 2801, SPV 2704, SPV 2800, CSV 30F, SPV 2886, SPV 2878, SPV 2881 & CSH 36F were reacting as resistance against stem borer.
Key words: Atherigona soccata, Chilo partellus dead heart, screening, sorghum
