Integrated Management of Rice Diseases

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Modern Techniques of Rice Crop Production

Abstract

The advances in rice production and research have reached a high level, and diseases and abiotic disorders remain the major cause of yield loss and less profit. The major diseases of rice and suitable integrated management practices are reviewed in this chapter. The diseases reduce the quality and yield and also increase the cost of production. The main issues regarding the practical identification of diseases based on symptoms in the field condition and presence of pathogen are discussed. The proper and accurate identification of diseases is utmost important to adopt suitable management practices. The principles of integrated disease management and utilization of recent technologies in combination with different control strategies, including resistance cultivars, boosting the host defense mechanisms, intercropping, and crop rotation, are considered in this chapter. The economically important rice diseases are blast, sheath blight, brown spot, bacterial blight, sheath rot, stem rot, false smut, and abiotic disorders. The impact of diseases on rice production is increasing day by day, and the only possible solution is to adopt integrated disease management strategies to overcome these issues and improve production.
