context_page_description: Rice-sheath blight is a disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani, a basidiomycete, that causes a major limitation on rice production in India and other countries of Asia, it is also found to be a problem in the southern U.S. where rice is also produced. This disease can cause yield decreases of up to 50% and cause a loss of quality. Not only does it cause lesions on the rice plant, but it can also cause pre- and post-emergence seedling blight, banded leaf blight, panicle infection, and spotted seed.
