Summary
1. Screening tests were carried out with 490 early duration varieties to isolate varieties resistant to blast disease of rice.
2. On the basis of the reaction of the varieties in the seedlings, post-transplanting and neck-infection stage, four varieties have been selected finally as resistant and eight as moderately resistant to blast disease of rice.
