Abstract
Standardized screening and evaluation procedures are required to precisely locate resistant/tolerant genotypes in a germplasm. Such procedures ensure comparison of data from different geographical location screening, and evaluation procedures are done in the field, greenhouse, and laboratory depending on the requirements. Depending on the goals set or desired, the precision and comprehensiveness of screening procedures vary. Germplasm screening procedures for certain key pests on few major crops are described in this chapter. These are quantitative in nature, suitable for statistical analyses.
