Abstract
The antibiosis components of resistance to the stemborer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) was studied on three different sorghum composites under greenhouse conditions. Significant differences were stant composites and susceptible check in regards to larval survival, larvalobserved between the resi duration, pupal mass, and percentage pupation and adult emergence. It has been concluded that high mortality of larvae on resistant composites is due to antibiosis and hence the possibility of selection of parents to breed should be based on the information to increase the levels and diversify the bases of resistance to C. partellus in sorghum
