Bakanae disease of rice caused by Fusarium moniliforme is emerging as one of the major biotic challenge to rice production under temperate agro-ecosystem . The disease is an important limiting factor for rice production in higher altitudes of Kashmir valley. Six different fungicides were evaluated both in vitro and as seed dressing Carbendazim + mancozeb was found most efficient in reducing the disease severity. The resistant sources for the disease identified in the study are GSL-5, GSL-9, GSL-12, GSL-44, GSL-60, GSL-66, GSL-67, GSL 36 and GSL-68
