Abstract

Antibiosis mechanism of resistance against BPH was studied in thirty rice entries with different level of resistance. Per cent nymphal survival, growth index values, population buildup, average nymphal emergence/female and adult longevity were significantly lower while nymphal duration was found longer as compared to susceptible check (TN-1) on different resistant entries studied.
