A preliminary study aimed at investigating the possible role of phenolics in providing resistance against banded leaf and sheath blight of maize. The phenolic content in all genotypes of maize increased after infection. This increase was more prominent in resistant genotypes than in susceptible genotypes. The highest increase (59.89 %) of phenols was observed in the resistant inbred CI-5 inoculated with Rhizoctonia solani f. sp. sasakii (RsHS) isolate. Phenol accumulation ranged from 4.25 to 8.53 g per cent dry weight in inoculated diseased leaves and 4.17 to 5.33 g dry weight in uninoculated healthy leaves of 11 genotypes.
