Expression of antixenosis and antibiosis components of resistance to spotted stem borer Chilo partellus in sorghum under greenhouse conditions

Abstract

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is one of the major cereal crops in the semi-arid tropics (SAT), but the grain yields on peasant farms are low (500–800 kg ha-1). It is damaged by more than 150 insect species, of which spotted stem
