2 Discussion
The significant differences and wide range in the
means of the phenotypic traits related to resistance
among the germplasm shows that there is great
potential for the development of improved maize
genotypes that are resistant to the postharvest insect
pests. The biophysical/bioassay and molecular data
confirm the existence of genetic divergence in tropical
maize germplasm in response to the maize field and
storage insect pests. This is in agreement with earlier
studies that reported the existence of genetic
variability of resistance to the maize weevil, larger
