Importance and Management of Rice Diseases: A Global Perspective

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Rice Production Worldwide

Abstract

Plant diseases are one of the major constraints in achieving the potential yield. Rice, the most important food crop in the world, is attacked by a number of fungal, bacterial and viral diseases. Due to hanged cultivation practices, reduced varietal diversity resulting in narrow genetic base and apparent climatic changes, the dynamics of rice diseases has changed over time. The major diseases have become more aggressive and spread to new areas. Many diseases which were earlier considered as minor have become economically important in many regions. For example, false smut of rice which was earlier considered as a sign of a bumper harvest has become widespread and a threatening problem in many areas. Many new disease problems (e.g. red stripe disease of rice) have been reported from different rice-growing regions. Varietal resistance has become short lived due to appearance of new and more virulent forms of the pathogen, making disease management more challenging. The present chapter includes global distribution, economic importance and management strategies of major and emerging rice diseases.
