Banded leaf and Sheath blight of maize caused by Rhizoctonia solani f.sp.
Sasakii [teleomorph: Thanatephorus cucumeris] is of worldwide
occurrence and is known to cause substantial yield losses. It is a major
production constraint in high yielding varieties under intensive maize
production systems. The pathogen has a very wide host range and exhibits
considerable pathogenic and molecular variability. Due to non-availability
of highly resistant cultivars, the management of banded leaf and sheath
blight primarily relies on chemical control. However, the disease can be
managed effectively through integration of effective cultural practices,
botanical pesticides, bio-control agents and fungi toxicants. In this review
article, the information available on various aspects of this disease has been
presented and discussed along with strategies for disease management.
