Abstract:
Leaf blast, caused by Pyricularia grisea, threatens rice cultivation, reducing grain yield by up to 75% (Padmanabhan, 1965). The disease affects various growth stages and causes white to gray lesions, leading to significant crop loss. Physiological studies on P. oryzae reveal its optimal growth at 25 °C, 95% humidity, pH 6, and in the presence of maltose and ammonium nitrate. This research aids in developing targeted strategies to manage rice blast disease.
