Abstract
Several species of Chilo are serious pests of cereal crops. The important species attacking cereals are Chilo agamemnon, C. orichalcociliellus and C. parrrllus on malze and sorghum; C. auricilius and C. zacconius on sugar-cane, and rice; C. suppressalis on rice; and C. sacchariphagus indicus on sugar-cane. Insects are reared In the laboratory on natural and artificial diets for various purposes, namely for insecticide testing, hormone and pheromone manipulation, biological control, host-plant resistance, etc. Rearing of an insect In the laboratory requires rearing facilities, colony establishment, research and development of rearing techhiques, resources, and maintenance of insect quality. All these aspects for rearing major Chilo spp. have been discussed. However, detailed information is available only for C. partellusand C.supprersalis. Techniques used for resistance screening anddamageevaluation against spotted stem borer, C. partellus using naturally occurring populatlon and artificial infestation are described.
