A new combination fungicide TAQAT 75% WP (Captan 70% + Hexaconazole 5%) was tested in different doses against rice sheath blight (ShB), sheath rot (ShR) and stem rot (StR) diseases under field conditions during Kharif 2013 and Rabi 2013-14. The combination fungicide TAQAT 75% WP (Captan 70% + Hexaconazole 5%) @ 750 g/ha was found effective against ShB, ShR and StR diseases recording least percent disease index (PDI) of 13.33, 14.44 and 13.7 respectively during Kharif 2013. Similar trend was observed during the Rabi 2013-14 where test fungicide TAQAT 75% WP recorded least PDI of 14.11, 14.16 and 17.49 against ShB, ShR and StR diseases respectively. Compared to TAQAT 75% WP, other test fungicides such as Captan 50% WP and Hexaconazole 5% SC at different doses recorded highest PDI against ShB, ShR and StR in both Kharif 2013 and Rabi 2013-2014. Significant increase in grain yield (67.25 q/h) was observed in the plots treated with test chemical TAQAT 75% WP 750 g/ha in Kharif 2013 and 64.35 q/ha during Rabi 2013-14, whereas, other fungicidal treatments recorded the yield in the range of 44.52-61.25 q/h (Kharif 2013) and 41.32-58.50 (Rabi 2013-14).
