Genetic analysis of resistance to sorghum shoot fly based on large F2 populations from a diallel mating system involving exotic, Indian and derived lines as parents and gene effects estimated from generation means revealed that inheritance of shoot fly resistance is predominantly additive. Among derived lines 148 and 604 which have the tall and late Indian variety Aispuri in their parentage are tolerant to shoot fly besides being early, dwarf and high yielding. Based on their overall performance they have been recommended for general cultivation in parts of India.
