SUMMARY
One hundred and five sorghum genotypes were evaluated against shoot fly, Atherigona soccata Rondani and stem borer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) during Kharif, 2020. Screening was
done on the basis of per cent dead heart at 28 and 45 days after emergence against shoot fly and stem borer respectively. The results revealed that some genotypes were highly resistant against shoot fly and stem bore excluding the resistant checks. Genotypes, SPV 2768, SPV 2669, SPV 2587, SPV 2593, SPV 2584, SPV 2704, CSV 21F, SPV 2809, SPV 2800, SPV 2808, SPV 2790, SPV 2604 and SPV 2529 have shown multiple resistance against shoot fly and stem borer.
Key words: Atherigona soccata, chilo partelus, dead heart, screening
