Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during kharif, 2017 at the Agricultural Research Station, Vizianagaram, Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University, to identify the resistant sources for Rhizoctonia solani which causes banded blight disease in foxtail millet. Results revealed that none of the genotypes was found free from sheath blight incidence. However, two varieties SiA 2863 (24.00) and ISC 74A (32.00) were found to be resistant. Four varieties were moderately resistant to moderately susceptible. Whereas, SiA 3208 (local check) was recorded 70.67%. The mean of two centers revealed that SiA 2863 (19.22) were found to be highly resistant. However, SiA 2697 (28.67), ISc 1199 (21.25), ISC 74A (35.72), ISc 789 (34.83) and GS 889 (35.44) were recorded resistant. However, SiA 2689 (42.67) was moderately resistant to moderately susceptible. These genotypes may be directly utilized for cultivation or for breeding varieties with inbuilt resistance against banded blight.
