Abstract: Barnyard millet is the second important small millet after finger millet in India. In this present study, eighteen barnyard millet varieties including check were evaluated for resistance to banded blight at Agricultural Research Station, Vizianagaram during kharif, 2019. The experiment was conducted under field condition. The screening revealed that none of the test lines or varieties was immune or highly resistant. However, TNEF 317 (63.3%) and TNEF 318 (64.7%) were recorded as susceptible; it was 97.5% in susceptible check. The disease intensity was ranged from 63.3 (TNEF 317) to 89.3 (DHBM 93-3), where it was 20.0% in resistant check (PRB 903) and it was 97.5% in susceptible check (LDR-1).
