Deutsch J.A.

Development of maize varieties with resistance to insect pests is a relatively new area of research. This paper describes methods for testing and recommending for release cultivars with resistance to maize insect pests. Recommended methodology for seed multiplication and maintenance and potential problems that may be encountered are also discussed. Distinctions between procedures for hybrid and open-pollinated varieties are made.
