African rice gall midge (AfRGM), (Orseolia oryzivora Haris and Gagne) is a major constraints associated with lowland rice production. Varietal resistance is an important component in the management of the pest. The aim of this study is to evaluate level of AfRGM resistance in inter-specific rice progenies lines. Field experiments were conducted in 2009 cropping season at Badeggi and Edozhigi to screen 917 inter-specific rice progeny lines for AfRGM resistance. The field was laid out in an Augmented Block Design, comprising of three blocks with 305 progenies in each block, checks were...
