Abstract:Tassel of 203 maize strains were e/aluatel for resistance to Asian coin borer using artificial infestation technique. Under the field condition, corrective survival rate of young larvae were 30% on B73, 51.2% on SD37 and 66.7% on FR143, and lowest mean larval weight of 1. 20mg was found on FR141. These strains may be used as materials for future resistance studies.
