The effect of two new fungicides was evaluated along with commercially available test fungicides against Rhizoctonia solani, causing sheath blight of rice. RIL FA 200SC, a new fungicide from keroxy-methyl group, and test fungicide Sheathmar, at 0.25% concentration proved equally effective in controlling sheath blight incidence by 65.23 and 66.67 per cent and simultaneously increasing the grain yield by 19.65 and 20.86 per cent as compared with the check treatment where only water was sprayed.
