Rice (Oryza sativa L.) a vital food crop for nearly half of the global population, facing significant threats from various biotic and abiotic stresses. Among biotic stresses, diseases pose the most common challenge. Sheath blight, caused by soil-borne fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia Solani Kühn (R. solani), is a major concern, leading to substantial damage to rice and cereal crops worldwide. This study evaluated sheath blight resistance across diverse rice varieties, including short grain, long grain, aromatic, hybrid, and wild types, under both artificial inoculation and field conditions. Ten host plant species were assessed for resistance to sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia Solani, using physiological screening one-week post-inoculation. The highly virulent R. solani isolate (AG-1 IA anastomosis group) was cultured on PDA media, covering the entire plate 3 to 5 days. Screening of cultivated rice varieties, was conducted using field conditions and humidified chamber methods, with results confirmed through molecular characterization. Among the ten cultivated rice varieties, Arize 6444 and Dhanya 748 exhibited the lowest disease index, classifying them as moderately resistant. In contrast, Kalanamak and Pusa Basmati were highly susceptible, displaying high disease indices. Among wild rice accessions, Oryza rufipogon showed a disease index of five or less. Visual ratings indicated the highest susceptibility in Kalanamak, followed by Pusa Basmati and Swarna sub-1, while the lowest visual ratings were observed in wild rice accessions Oryza australiensis and Oryza rufipogon across all tested hosts. The findings underscore the importance of identifying resistant rice varieties to manage sheath blight effectively. The moderately resistant cultivars and wild rice accessions identified in this study offer valuable genetic resources for breeding programs aimed at enhancing sheath blight resistance in rice.
