Abstract:
Sheath rot of rice caused by Sarocladium oryzae (Sawada) Gams and Hawksworth has become potentially destructive disease. The screening for disease resistance is essential to identify the resistant variety/source. Forty four genotypes were screened in the field at Agriculture Research Station, Mugad with a susceptible check IET-19396 and out of forty four genotypes, two genotypes viz., Rere Seed, Bilidadi Goratiga showed highly resistant reaction. Sixteen genotypes showed resistant reaction; fourteen genotypes showed moderately resistant reaction, seven genotypes showed moderately susceptible reaction and about five genotypes showed susceptible reaction.
