Significant differences in progeny numbers, weights and developmental periods of weevils were found among maize selections. Resistance to weevil attack increased through selection in dent types but not in flint types. Resistance was located in the pericarp, which is maternal tissue. In the nearly ho
Accessions representing twenty eight landraces of maize were assessed for susceptibility to the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais in standardized resistance tests. Susceptibility parameters such as weight loss of grain, number of insect progeny produced, the Dobie index of susceptibility, and oviposi
An exotic Zea mays L. population ('Tuxpeno') was adapted to North Carolina conditions by first introducing genes for adaptability from two North Carolina varieties ([('Jarvis' X 'Indian Chief')'Tuxpeno']'Tuxpeno') including four generations of intermating, and then selecting for adaptability using m
