H.Q.M. MOSADDEQUE, M.I.TALUKDER, M.M. ISLAM, A.K.M. KHUSRUL AMIN AND M.A.ALAMAn experiment was conducted at the field laboratory of Genetics and Plant Breeding Department, BAU, Mymensingh during July to December, 2000. Forty-four test entries of parental lines of rice with one susceptible (BR 11) and one resistant check (BRRI dhan 29) were screened against sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani) at maximum tillering and flowering stage in the field. The pathogenicity test was studied in the laboratory. Ten lines were resistant, 31 were moderately resistant and 3 showed moderately susceptible reaction at maximum tillering stage. At flowering stage only 2 lines were resistant, 24 were moderately resistant and 18 lines were moderately susceptible. Download
