Sixteen fungicides and one antibiotic namely: Propiconazole, Hexaconazole, Difenconazole, Thiophenate-Methyl, Carbendazim, Tebuconazole, Mancozeb, Copper oxychloride, Zineb, Chlorothalonil, Carbendazim+Mancozeb, Carboxin+Thiram, Tricyclazole+Mancozeb, Hexaconazole+Zineb, Carbendazim+Iprodione, Trifloxystrobin+Tebuconazole and Validamycin were screened in-vitro by using poisoned food techniquefor their effect on inhibition of mycelium growth of Rhizoctonia solani f .sp. sasakii ,the causal agent of banded leaf and sheath blight of maize. Among systemic fungicides screened, maximum inhibition of mycelium growth was observed in Propiconazole and Carbendazim, while maximum inhibition of mycelium growth was observed in Carbendazim+ Mancozeb and Carbendazim + Iprodione among combi-product fungicides tested. Maximum inhibition of mycelium growth was observed in Mancozeb and Validamycin among the tested non-systemic fungicides.
