Sheath blight of rice, caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn (Teleomorph: Thanatephorus cucumeris (Frank) Donk) is one of the important rice diseases after rice blast and is known to cause yield losses up to the extent of 1.2-69.0 per cent. For an effective management of sheath blight, different disease management approaches could be opted but the use of resistant varieties is considered as the most reliable one. Considering the importance of crop and extent of damage, a set of 50 rice germplasm lines was screened against sheath blight of rice, out of which 14 lines showed resistant reaction and 16 lines exhibited moderately resistant reaction, respectively. Rest 20 lines showed moderately susceptible and susceptible reaction. Rice germplasm lines identified in this study could be brought into rice breeding programmes after field validation.

For an effective management of sheath blight, different disease management approaches could be opted but the use of resistant varieties is considered as the most reliable one. Considering the importance of crop and extent of damage, a set of 50 rice germplasm lines was screened against sheath blight of rice, out of which 14 lines showed resistant reaction and 16 lines exhibited moderately resistant reaction, respectively.
