Abstract A description is provided for Sarocladium attenuatum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Oryza sativa (rice). DISEASE: Sheath rot. The symptoms are similar to those of sheath rot associated with S. oryzae. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: India, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Gambia, Mexico, USA. The distributions of S. attenuatum and S. oryzae overlap and many records of S. attenuatum must have been included in that of 'Acrocylindrium oryzae' before a distinction between the two species had been drawn, but S. attenuatum alone has been recorded for America and S. oryzae only in S.E. Asia. TRANSMISSION: Sarcocladium attenuatum has been isolated from Nilaparvata lugers, the brown plant hopper of rice (CMI records), which might suggest a similar role to that suggested for other rice pests and S. oryzae. Seedborne (56, 5628).

Abstract A description is provided for Sarocladium oryzae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Oryza sativa (rice). DISEASE: Sheath rot. This occurs in the upper leaf sheath enclosing young panicles and starts as oblong or irregular lesions with brownish margins and greyish centres, 0.5-1.5 cm long, which later enlarge and coalesce. Whitish mycelium may be seen in the centre of the lesions and occasionally inside the rotted sheaths. Severely affected panicles do not emerge, the effect being known as choking. The symptoms are evidently indistinguishable from those associated with S. attenuatum. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: India, Bangladesh, Brunei, Kenya, Nigeria. Although it is not always possible when 'Acrocydndrium oryzae' is reported in the earlier literature to know whether S. oryzae or S. attenuatum is intended, the distribution of the former extends into S.E. Asia and the latter into N. America. TRANSMISSION: By conidial dispersal. Fungal attack is often associated with damage by pests - the boring beetle, Corticarina gibbosa (Amin et al.) or the mite Steneotarsonemus madecassus (Hsieh et al., 1977 with 'Acrocylindrium oryzae') and S. spinki (Chien & Huang, 1979).

Abstract A description is provided for Pyrenochaeta oryzae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Oryza sativa. DISEASE: Sheath blotch of rice or known in Japanese as 'Yosho-kappanbyo' meaning sheath brown spot (Hashioka, 1972). The macroscopic symptoms are large brown lesions on leaf sheaths. At first lesions start from the margin of a sheath as dark brown oblong blotches which enlarge, become bluish-grey, finally covering the entire sheath. Lesions may reach up to 10 cm in length and often appear at the junction of sheath and leaf blade just below the collar without causing the collar to break. When dry the affected part of the sheath turns greyish-brown with or without distinct brown margins. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Sierra Leone, Swaziland); Asia (Burma, China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand); Australasia & Oceania (Fiji, Solomon Islands). TRANSMISSION: Presumably dispersed in the crop by splash-liberated conidia from infected leaf sheaths and glumes during wet weather. Lesions on leaves also appear at the site of oviposition of the green hopper, Nephotettix bipunctatus[Nephotettix virescens] (Hashioka, 1972).

Abstract A description is provided for Rhizoctonia oryzae-sativae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Oryza sativa; has been found on O. cubensis, Juncellus serotinus and Zizania latifolia[Zizania aquatica]. DISEASE: Lesions with pale centres and distinct brown margins develop on sheaths. They are usually small (0.5-1 cm) but several may occur together. Attack on culms results in browning, lodging and death. Can also infect roots. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: China, Japan; Malaya, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Vietnam. TRANSMISSION: Soil-borne. Is capable of overwintering in soil as sclerotia or mycelium; also in stubble and other crop residues (11, 801).
