Abstract: Rice genotypes were evaluated for resistance to the Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens Stal in SVPUA& T Meerut, were evaluated for resistance in greenhouse screening tests. Over a period of two years (2017 and 2018), 17 rice cultivars were screened using the plant standard seed box screening technique. The results showed 6 rice varieties viz. REMRE-1, RPMRE-2, RPMRE-3, RPMRE-5, RIL-501 and PTB-33 were possessing high level of resistance to the BPH. 3 rice varieties viz., Vallabh Basmati-24, Pusa Sugandha-5, Taraori Basmati and Pusa Basmati-1 were moderately resistant. 4 rice varieties viz., Kasturi, Vallabh Basmati-23, Vallabh Basmati-22, Improved Pusa Basmati-1460 were moderately susceptible and 3 rice varieties viz., Pusa Basmati-6, Pusa Basmati-1121 and Pusa Basmati-1509 were susceptible, according to standard evaluation system (IRRI, 1992) Standard Seed Box Screening technique (SSST).
