The present investigation was undertaken to make a critical assessment of the efficacy of various palnt protection chemicals, viz., fungicides, insecticides and herbicides on the incidence and intensity of sheath blight of rice and on the survival of the pathogen. The organism was isolated from naturally infected rice fields and its pathogenicity proved. Studies on the viability of sclerotia revealed that they sclerotia remained viable upto 210 days in all the different types of soils namely sandy, clayey and loamy. The organism could survive on straw bits upto 180th ady only.
