GR-12 and GR-11 variety proved as highly susceptible (HS). At heading stage (15 days before harvesting), Masuri, Gurjari and GR-103 showed resistance (R) to white earhead per cent infestation by yellow stem borer while, GR-104, GR-102 and GR-101 showed susceptibility. Variety GR-12 and GR-11 proved highly susceptible.
