Abstract: The paper deals with the investigate about resistance inducing chemicals and silicon based nutrients for the successful sustainable management of rice sheath blight. Among the various treatments sheath blight disease incidence was effectively controlled by foliar application of SA1 (on 15 DAT(Days After Transplanting) @ 50 ppm) and PS2 (on 30 DAT @ 3 % ) during 2018 & 2017. It was followed by foliar application of SA1 (at 15 DAT) and SA2 (at 30 DAT) which recorded a disease incidence during both field trials. The test fungicide Hexaconazole 0.1 per cent recorded also minimum per cent disease incidence on both field trials. The per cent sheath blight incidence was found higher in untreated control.
