Explanation:

The present study was conducted at the experimental farm of ICAR Research Complex for Eastern Region, Patna, India in Kharif season 2016 with an objective to identify false smut resistance rice genotypes. False smut (Ustilaginoidea virens (Cooke) Takahashi) is of serious concern to the rice growers as it affects rice quality and significantly reduces the yield particularly in irrigated ecosystem. Twenty one genotypes were evaluated for their resistance and susceptibility to the disease under in-situ conditions. Significant differences were observed for resistance to false smut disease among genotypes.
