An effort was made to explore the efficacy of microbial formulations against sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani) of rice. Efficacy of nine microbial formulations viz., Jawahar Azotobacter, Jawahar Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB), Jawahar Blue Green Algae (BGA), Jawahar Mycorrhiza, Jawahar Azospirillum, Jawahar Acetobacter, Jawahar Tricoderma, Jawahar Pseudomonas, Jawahar consortia were tested. The Jawahar Pseudomonas microbial formulations was recorded minimum disease incidence in both years and were found very effective as compared to control. The maximum disease incidence was observed in Jawahar Blue Green Algae (BGA).
