Response of different sorghum verities against stem borer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) was evaluated at Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The varieties AFS-28 and SSG-59-3 recorded less than 69.47 percent dead hearts were found resistant to stem borer. The varieties AFS-26, AFS-30 and AFS-36 recorded more than 69.47 but less than 83 percent dead hearts were found moderately resistant. While, AFS-34 recorded more than 83. Percent dead hearts but less than 96.53 percent dead hearts was found susceptible. AFS-32, MP Chari and COFS-29 recorded more than 96.53 but less than 110.06 percent dead hearts were found highly susceptible variety. A negative correlation between percent dead heart caused by stem borer and number of leaves/plant and score of leaf glossiness was observed indicating that with increase in these factors the infestation of pest was decreased.
