Abstract

The Indian traditional rice varieties Jonwphool, Malsundri and Tulsidas showed resistance and Basmata. Bedubhajana, Mundadhan and Sonakathi showed moderately resistance reaction in India as well as in Philippines. Resistance/moderately resistance reaction of Jonwphool and Bedubhajana is indicative of the resistance of these varieties to green leaf hopper.
