Abstract
Nineteen maize genotypes resistant to various stalk borer species were evaluated for resistance to the maize stalk borer, Busseola fusca (Fuller), using artificially infested plants grown in a greenhouse. The inbred line GT-FAWCC (C5) resistant to the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) was identified as a new source of high level leaf feeding resistance to B. fusca, whereas the inbred GT115 resistant to the corn earworm Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) presented a source of resistance to ear feeding by B. fusca. The latter is the first record of resistance to B. fusca not derived from an Antigua Group 2 background.
