Moench, were screened for resistance to the sorghum midge, Contarinia sorghicola (Coquillett), in field plots. Evaluation of 211 lines was conducted at two or more locations in Texas in one or more years from 1976 to 1979. Results of these screening trials indicated that at least 11 lines previously unreported as midge-resistant should be further investigated. These lines are IS 2549C, IS 2862C, IS 3071C, IS 6392C, IS 7064C, IS 7142C, IS 8231C, IS 8233C, IS 8263C, IS 8337C, and IS 12593C.
