Behavior of sorghum lines in relation to sugarcane borer Diatraea sacchardis (Fabricius, 1974).

Sorghum lines were evaluated for resistance to the sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalist) at the Afranio Research Field, Pernambuco in 1976. The infestations of the lines are given in Table 1. There was significant simple positive correlation between infestation percentage and infestation intensity (r= 0.86*). There was no correlation between infestation percentage and infestation intensity with plant height or with number and external diameter of internodes.
