Abstract Rice stem borer (Chilo agamemnon Bles.) is a primary insect pest of rice and is a major limiting factor to rice
production. Breeding for insect-resistant crop varieties has been an economic way of integrated pest management
(IPM) as it offers a viable and ecologically acceptable approach. This study was aimed to evaluate rice genotypes
for their resistance against rice stem borer. Seven parental genotypes with twenty one F1 crosses were evaluated
for genotypic variation in field experiments. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences for the studied
traits in almost all crosses and parents. In addition, the mean squares of parents… More >
