PANICLES AND LEAF BLAST CONTROL
(Pyricularia sp.)

• Panicles and Leaf Blast disease is caused by fungus Pyricularia sp.
• It has an impact on decreasing production yields and even crop failure, because it has disturbed since the beginning of the grain illing period.
• Attacks are often found during the rice planting season in the rainy season as well as the plant spacing which is too tight.

DAMAGE SYMPTOMS :

• Symptoms on the leaves : Spots on the leaves appear typically in a form of a rhombus and expand into blight.
