Abstract
In laboratory tests conducted to determine the mechanisms of resistance of selected corn genotypes to Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), the choice tests and leaf consumption data indicated that the resistance of Antigua 2D-118 was mainly non preference. There was a low level of antibiosis. MpSWCB-4 had the highest level of resistance to the fall armyworm, with both nonpreference and antibiosis expressed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
