Partial resistance of sixteen rice genotypes to blast (Pyricularia grisea) was evaluated during two years under upland conditions (Capão Bonito, SP). Blast severity on leaves and panicles was periodically determined and the data were used to obtain the disease progress curve for each genotype and to estimate the area under disease progress curve (AUDPC). Smaller AUDPC values were presented, considering leaf blast, by IAC 1711, IAC 1774 and IAC 1781 lines and BRS Bonança and BRS Liderança cultivars; considering panicle blast, by IAC 1738, IAC 1774 and IAC 1781 lines and BRS Bonança, BRS Liderança and Carisma cultivars.
