Bacterial Leaf Blight(BLB) is considered as a major threat to rice production because of its wide
spread, distribution and its destructiveness under favourable conditions. The
disease is caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is one of the most destructive
disease in irrigated and rain fed environment in Asia and cause considerable
loss. Thus, a field trial was conducted during Kharif 2016 at AHRS, Bavikere to
know the efficacy of different commercially available antibacterial chemicals
and bio-agents against the bacterial leaf blight of rice. Results indicated
that, streptocycline + copper oxychloride combined treated plots showed the
lowest per cent disease incidence of 22.33 per cent. Highest grain yield of
56.49 q/ha was recorded in streptocycline + copper oxychloride, which was
significantly superior over all the treatments.
