M. aSorghum midge (DipterabCecidomyiidae) adult ovipositional behavior on resistant and susceptible sorghum hybrids.h[electronic resource] c1986 aOvipositional behavior of adult sorghum midge, Contarinia sorghicola (Coquillett), on a midge-resistance (ATx2755 x Tx2767) and a midge- susceptible (ATx2752 xTx430) sorghum hybrids was compared under conditions at College Station Tex., in 1983. Searching time, interval between two oviposition attempts, and number of flowers searched were recorded for a total of 320 adult female midges during four occasions. Probing time and frequency of ovipositional sucess were recorded for a total of 258 adult midges during 10 occasions. Adult midges searched flowers of the resistant hybrid more rapidly than flowers of the susceptible hybrid; however, probing/ovipositional time was longer for females on the resistant hybrid. Ovipositional efficiency of the sorghum midge female was 4-fold less on flowers of the resistant hybrid than those of the susceptible hybrid. ahybrids aHibrido aResistĂȘncia aSorgo aAdult aAdulto aOvipositional aResistant aSorghum midge aSusceptible aSuscetivel1 aTEETES, G.
