Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2008 and 2009 at the Regional
Agricultural Research Station, lam farm, Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University, Hyderabad to
develop a suitable non damaging method for inoculating Rhizoctonia. solani which causes banded leaf
and sheath blight disease in maize. Results revealed that inoculation with paddy straw method is superior
to other methods as well as reported techniques and can be adopted on a large scale for evaluating maize
germplasm against banded leaf and sheath blight disease.
