Abstract

This experiment was conducted in four replications to find out resistance against infestation of rust red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) with seventeen old and newly released wheat varieties. It was observed that wheat varieties PBW 175 and PBW 1 Zinc were found to be resistant against infestation of rust red flour beetle and had least effect on germination, whereas variety PBW 660 was found highly susceptible.
