For large scale adoption
of hybrid rice technology the released hybrids should possess
a fair degree of resistance to some of the major diseases/pests
in the target areas, in addition to the distinct yield advantage
over the existing varieties. Keeping this in view, the promising
hybrids are regularly being evaluated for resistance to major pests
and diseases, both in glass house as well as under field conditions.
Promising hybrids and some parental lines with resistance to major
pests and diseases have been identified (Table 6).
