Identification and Evaluation of Maize Germplasm for Resistance to Corn Borer
133 maize germplasm were identified for resistance to corn borer under conditions of infec ting insects naturally.The results showed that the resistance of germplasm to corn borer were difference,the most of which were sensitive or high sensitive to the second generation borer.The resistance of some inbred lines was consistent during different development stages, and the others' resistance changes with development stages.Tai 2-4,CIMBL 26,A 4 were moderate resistant to the first generation borer and the second generation borer.These insect-resistant resources can be used in creating new germplasm and hybrids.
