Pathogen Disease incited by a fungus, Pyricularia oryzae.
Name of the disease Blast disease of rice.
Systematic position The fungus belongs to class: Deuteromycetes.

Symptoms:
The symptoms are found on the leaf blades, leaf sheaths and rachis.
Characteristic isolated, bluish – green necrotic lesions with a water –
soaked appearance are formed on the leaf – blades. The lesions are broad
in the centre and possess narrow elongations on its top and bottom. The
lesion – formation leads to ultimate drying of the leaves, and the seedlings
wither and die. After transplantation, the symptoms appear in the form of necrotic lesions both on the leaf lamina and the leaf sheaths. The necrotic lesion is spindle shaped grey in the centre and remain surrounded by brown and yellowish zones. The leaves ultimately dry up.
The pathogen:
The fungus Pyricularia oryzae when young possesses hyaline and septate mycelium. On maturity, the colour of mycelium changes to olive brown. Conidia are produced terminally. Each conidium is obpyriform septate with a small basal appendage.
Control measures:
The most economic method of control is the cultivation of resistant, high yielding varieties.
Seed treatment:
Immersion of the seeds in 0.2 per cent solution of Kalimat B for 24 hours controlled the disease and promoted the growth of seedlings. The seed protectants such as agrosan, cerasan and spergon have been proved
responsible for the control of disease.
Sanitation:
Plant debris should be collected and destroyed. The secondary host
plants such as Digitaria marginata should be collected from paddy fields
and destroyed.
Spraying and dusting:
Blast disease can be controlled effectively by spraying the fungicide,
Bordeaux mixture at least 4 times before and after flowering of the crop.
