Abstract: The present laboratory study was conducted to screen the different twenty three sorghum genotypes to rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) for their resistance / susceptibility by no choice method during 2016-17. The least number of adult emergence, seed infestation and seed weight loss was observed in genotypes viz, IS 2312 (1.00 adult, 0.33 % and 0.15%), IS 2205 (2.00 adults, 0.67% and 0.28%), M 35-1 (2.00 adults, 0.33 % and 0.30%) and IS 18551 (3.00 adults, 1.00 % and 0.60 %), respectively at 30 days after storage. Similar trend was recorded at 60, 90 and 120 days after storage.
