Rice is a staple food crop for about 65% of the Indian population, contributing 40% of total food grain production, thus occupies a pivotal role in the food and livelihood security of people. The major pathogens such as fungi, bacteria and virus diseases which affect the crop growth as well as yield. The impact of these diseases is very devastating and widespread in different rice growing areas. Both Chemical as well as biological management are important for favored, susceptible rice cultivars.
