Shoot fly, Atherigona soccata is a serious pest that reduces sorghum production. At the early stages of crop growth, shoot fly damages crops. The most realistic alternative method for reducing insect losses is the use of host plant resistance. This study was to evaluate the status of resistance of sorghum varieties to shoot fly. The experiment was carried out at two locations under field conditions. Eight improved sorghum variety were evaluated. Shoot fly damage parameters, morphological characteristics and grain yield were collected. Significant differences in the levels of resistance of sorghum varieties to shoot fly damage were observed. The variety showed highest overall resistance score gave high yield than those varieties showed least over all resistance score and exhibited resistance to shoot fly with high grain yield potential. These varieties were found as potential source for tolerance and showed better yield performances.
