Watch out for bacterial leaf blight disease, farmers told
The Hindu
It has been found in standing paddy crop in some parts of Tiruchi district
With sporadic incidence of bacterial leaf blight disease in the standing samba and thaladi paddy crop in a few parts of the district, the Agriculture Department has advised farmers to take up appropriate measures to check its spread if symptoms appear in their fields.
Samba and thaladi paddy crop has been raised on about 49,000 hectares in the district. Due to the intermittent rains during the north-east monsoon and favourable climatic conditions, symptoms of bacterial leaf blight are appearing in the crop in some places. The bacterium enters through the cut wounds in the leaf tips and edges, becomes systemic and causes orange and yellow coloured wavy margins in the leaf tips and edges.
