Abstract
Antixenosis and antibiosis component of resistance to Asian rice gall midge, Orseolia oryzae was investigated in 23 selected rice genotypes under greenhouse conditions in a free-choice test. The higher number of adults was found settled on TN1 and Jaya (0.35 and 0.32 adults/plant) compared to resistant genotypes. However, the resistant genotypes, viz., RP 4647-1073, MTU 1075, and RP 4644-1183 were also recorded higher number of adults per plant 6 h after adult release besides showing resistance. So no distinct antixenosis in terms of numbers of adults settled was evident between resistant and susceptible genotypes. But significantly higher number of eggs were recorded on susceptible genotypes TN1 (14.44 eggs/plant) and Jaya (13.10 egg/plant) compared to resistant. Nevertheless, these differences could not be linked to resistance against gall midge, in view of the short adult life span of one day and total inactivity of adults during the day time. It is not surprising if antixenosis component is not clearly expressed in case of rice gall midge. Similarly, the maggots survived on all the resistant genotypes remained in the first instar while in susceptible genotypes they reached second instar at 7 days, third instar at 14 days, and pupal stage at 18 days after adult release. However, in resistant genotypes despite supporting the maggot development up to second instar caused mortality without manifestation of silver shoot. In this study, genotypes such as NDR 2063, JGL 11459, and JGL 13376, despite recording comparable proportion of eggs to the susceptible TN1 and Jaya, continued to be resistant.
