Abstract
Abstract As a part of the U.S. Germplasm Enhancement-Maize Project, 47 accessions from the Plant Introduction Station, Ames, IA, were evaluated for resistance to fall armyworm and southwestern corn borer leaf feeding at Mississippi State, MS. The accessions and known resistant and susceptible check hybrids were grown in one-row, 20-plant plots arranged in a RCB design with three replications for each insect. Plants in the mid-whorl stage of growth were infested with 30 neonates each approximately 6 wk after planting. Leaf feeding damage was visually rated 14 d later on a scale of 0 (no damage) to 9 (heavy dam-age).
