A glass house experiment was conducted at Department of Entomology, IGKV, Raipur (Chhattisgarh), during 2014-15 to evaluate different rice genotypes for brown planthopper (BPH) resistance. A total of 392 rice genotypes were evaluated, of which 58 were from IRRI, 78 were aromatic types and rest 256 represented the local germplasm. Of 58 rice genotypes from International Rice Research Institute six viz. Ptb 33 (), IR 03A159 (), IR 09N522 (), IR 07A179 (), IR 08N136 () and IR 09N538 (), were found to be highly resistant to BPH while were resistant. | In vitro evaluation of rice genotypes for brown plant hopper Nilaparvata lugens Stal. resistance
