Field screening of 12 genotypes of sorghum against major insect pest during Rabi 2006-07 and 2007-08 showed that among 12 genotypes Nizergoti was found less susceptible to shoot fly, Among different plant characters, the length of leaves exhibited significant positive (r=0.272) and number of leaves was found to be significant and negative (r=-0.255) influence on incidence of shoot fly (r=-0.255).
