Author(s): R. PAL, D. MANDAL AND M. K. BISWAS
Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to find out the effective sowing dates to avoid the economically important disease like sheath blight of rice caused by Rhizoctonia solani. Maximum disease severity (39.85%) as well as disease incidence (35.36%) and rate of spread (r = 0.224) was recorded in the variety MTU 7029 when the crop was sown on 30th June (early sowing). Minimum disease was obtained when the crop was sown on 15th July (normal sowing) which can be recommended to escape the disease.
