Abstract

The objective of this work was to test the ability of maize kernels in distincting, among 21 different genotypes, individually marked and mixed, which material is resistance to the insect. The mixture was infested with S. zeamais for 15 days. The data suggest that the improvement of high quality of maize populations was effective in order to obtain good levels of resistance to S. zeamais in some populations.
