Management of bakanae disease using fungicides and their effect on disease symptomatology

Bakanae disease is an emerging problem of Basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.) in India and most the basmati varieties are susceptible to this disease. Present study was carried out evaluate identify effective fungicide against bakanae for which 12 fungicides (single combination) were evaluated as seedling treatments during rainy (kharif) season year 2019 2020. Minimum incidence observed with Carbendazim 50% wp (19.47%), Tebuconazole + Trifloxystrobin 25% w/w 75 wg (25.71%) years evaluation maximum yield. Area under progress curve minimum (621.58) treatment followed by (671.30). Differences symptoms different treatments. Among treatments, elongated tillers major Mancozeb 75% wp, Zineb 68% Hexaconazole 4% Azoxystrobin 23% sc treated plants. Whereas, tiller elongation rotting prominent Kitazin 48% ec inoculated control In case 8% Captan 32% detachment prominent. Therefore, be reducing low AUDPC high yield compared control.
