Abstract Soil amended with rice straw compost significantly reduced sheath blight severity. The disease caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani Kühn is a severe disturbance to cultivation in Indonesia. R. soil borne fungi and highly competitive as saprophyte. In mature compost, propagules form of sclerotia germination were suppressed hyperparasites other biological control agents. Compost matur...

The Scientific Advisory Board reflects the same excitement as others associated with the RiceCAP program in preparing the path for the application of genomics to rice breeding, and especially toward two traits (milling yield and sheath blight resistance) important to the U.S. rice industry. We are impressed with the fact that the participants represent many of the best scientists in the field o...

Sheath blight is one of the most important fungal rice diseases worldwide as well in Indonesia, caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn. Yield losses sheath disease tropics reached 6%. This research was conducted survey technique to measure incidence and severity on plants 13 (thirteen) locations representing 12 (twelve) districts Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Variable values were found surveyed locat...

Transgenic approach offers an attractive alternative to conventional techniques for the genetic improvement of Basmati rice because they enable the introduction of one or more genes into a leading cultivar without affecting its genetic background. During the last ten years, a rapid progress has been made towards the development of transformation methods in rice. Several transformation methods i...

abstract sclerogenic fungal pathogens, are among the most important diseases of rice plant. sheath blight caused by rhizoctonia solani is one of the economically important diseases that attack a wide range of hosts. stem rot (magnaporthe salvinii) has also been found with different severity in most fields of guilan province. to determine sclerogenic fungal pathogens of rice plant, 141 isolates ...

sheath blight disease, caused by rhizoctonia solani ag-1 ia, is one of the most serious fungal diseases of rice, worldwide. rice resistance is a relative phenomenon and disease response varied (due to complex quantitative inheritance and high environmental diversity), so an accurate disease assessment would be difficult. to detect a reliable reaction of rice in a high level of disease developme...
