A Set of Fifty five specialty corn maize genotypes viz., Popcorn, Sweet corn, and Baby corn and quality protein maize were evaluated in the field, under leaf inoculated conditions against banded leaf and sheath blight disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani f. sp. sasakii Exner and replicated three times in randomized complete block design (RCBD). The field screening experiment was done in an experimental plot maintained at All India Coordinated Research Project on Maize-ANGRAU-Agricultural Research Station, Peddapuram, and Andhra Pradesh. Disease was recorded after 45 days of inoculation. Among fifty five genotypes tested against BLSB, according to disease rating scale (1-9), 11popcorn, 7 sweet corn, 17 baby corn& 10 quality protein maize genotypes had shown resistant reaction with disease scoring of <3.0, 12 popcorn, 21 sweet corn, 7 Baby corn& 10 QPM genotypes had shown moderately resistant reaction with disease scoring of 4.0-5.0 and remaining4 popcorn, 5 sweet corn& 52 QPM genotypes had shown moderately susceptible reaction with disease scoring of 6.0-7.0.
