Abstract
The host range of Rhizoctonia solani is so wide, and the damage caused to specific crops is so variable, that a case study may provide an appropriate approach to the general issue of measuring crop losses at the field level. Rice sheath blight provides a good example because the symptoms of the disease are fairly representative of symptoms caused by R. solani to a wide range of both monocots and dicots.
