Seventy three varieties/genotypes of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were screened under field condition during Kharif 2016 & 2017, to evaluate their performance against Scirpophaga incertulas. The trial was laid out in randomized block design with three replications, at JNKVV research farm, Jabalpur. White ears were recorded at the time of dough stage of crop. Lowest white ears (pooled mean) were recorded to be 0.00, 0.17, 0.17 & 0.17 /plant on genotypes IR 36, R 1700- 302-1-156-1, Shymla and IR 64, respectively.
