Seed inoculation of rice varieties of BPT-5204, MAS-26 and MAS 946-1 by soaking of seeds in conidial
suspension (105
condial/ml) of Sarocladium oryzae overnight was carried out in two factorial complete randomized design
(CRD). Significant differences were observed among inoculation techniques (inoculated vs control) and among varieties as
indicated by reduced plant in seed inoculated plants as compared to that of control
