Abstract

To study the evaluation the resistance of aromatic rice entries against yellow rice stem borer under field condition was conducted at Rice Research Institute Dokri, Larkana, Sindh, Pakistan. During the study of dead hearts from the aromatic rice entries under field conditions, least dead heart percentage against yellow rice stem borer from Lateefy and highest from Basmati-307 was recorded while; minimum average white head percentage was noted from Basmati-520 and maximum from Basmati-370. Premium yield was achieved from Lateefy, followed by PAV-30, Basmati-370, PNR-75704-30 and Basmati-520. Statistically no significant difference was observed between Basmati-370 and PNR-75704-30 during the study of yield.
