Q

Rice blast

A

Pyricularia oryzae (FUNGUS)

Blast can affect leaf blades, stem nodes, panicle and grains. Leaf blast attacks especially between the seedling stage and tillering stage. Early leaf lesions are rounded, white to grey-green with darker green borders. Older lesions become spindle-shaped with grey centre and brown margin. At heading stage blast again increases attacking nodes and panicles. Infected nodes start rotting and eventually the culm can break at the node. Nodal blast can also result in barren panicles (white heads). In early Neck Blast, lesions at the neck appear greyish-green and later turn black. Infected necks can rot and break. Early Neck Blast leads to chaffy grains while late Neck Blast gives partly filled grains with kernels that are chalky, brittle and often useless

(Tricyclazole),.

  1. Adopt cultural practices to reduce blast occurrence in all stages by:

a. Using disease-free seed or fungicide-treated seeds for prevention of seedling b

b. Avoiding high-density planting

c. Planting within recommended planting period

d. Apply nitrogen fertilizer in splits as nitrogen fertilizer promotes excessive vegetative growth leading to high humidity that favors disease development

Q

Rice sheath blight

A

Thanatephorus cucumeris (or Rhizoctonia solani)

This fungus can kill rice plants, or result in greatly reduced yields. Patches of dying rice can be very noticeable. However, the disease normally does not spread fast, and at present it is not a cause for concern.

Q

Turcicum leaf blight (TLB)

A

Exserohilum turcicum
Maize
This was the most important disease of maize, causing significant yield losses. However, the release of tolerant varieties means that it is now relatively easily managed.

Q

When can HLB damage be expected?

A

Areas with Asiatic citrus psyllid below 1200 masl; Rate of spread increases with psyllid density.

20
Q

What plants can host HLB?

A

Several citrus species and hybrids; Non-citrus hosts: periwinkle/vinca, dodder (Cuscuta spp.).

21
Q

How is HLB managed in citrus orchards below 1200 masl?

A

Progressive removal of infected trees; Replant with pathogen and psyllid-free materials; Stump treatment with glyphosate; Area-wide vector management; Remove alternative hosts (e.g., curry leaf, Murraya spp.).

22
Q

How is HLB managed in orchards above 1200 masl?

A

Use varieties suited to high altitudes (1200-1700 masl); Strict quarantine measures; Regularly inspect and rogue out diseased plants.

23
Q

Is there any chemical management for HLB?

A

No chemicals to control HLB; Insecticides used to suppress Asiatic citrus psyllids below 1200 masl.

24
Q

What non-chemical management strategies are used?

A

National quarantine: Use pathogen-free nursery stock; Avoid collecting wild germplasm; Destroy HLB-affected stock; Farmers should not share se

25
Q

A

Diaphorina citri
