Abstract
To evaluate the resistance of nine wheat cultivars (Rawal 87, Chakwal 86, Inqilab 91, Khyber 87, Sariab 92, Bakhtawar, Faisalabad 85, C 591 and Pak 81) against Sitophilus oryzae Linnaeus,three tests (Free choice, Confinement and Antixenosis) were conducted in the Department of Entomology, University of Arid Agriculture, Rawalpindi, during 1997-99, using Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications in each test. When compared with Chakwal 86 (the susceptible check/standard), C 591 was proved to be partially resistant under all three tests. Khyber 87 was found to be susceptible to highly susceptible. Pak 81 was found susceptible to partially resistant, while Rawal 87, Inqilab 91, Sariab 92, Bakhtawar and Faisalabad 85 were not significantly different from the standard (Chakwal 86). The results revealed that there was variability in different wheat cultivars against Sitophilus oryzae and this variability could be incorporated in evolving wheat varieties resistant to insects so as to minimize the dependence on insecticides/fumigants for the control of insects in godowns/warehouses.
