Rice Diseases: Biology & Selected Management Practices
Twenty-five global rice disease specialists have jointly authored this online resource, covering 80 diseases that afflict rice. Throughout, the researchers emphasize the importance of significantly reducing the detrimental effects of plant diseases in rice production. They also clarify the biology of these diseases and recommend selected practices for managing them.
Sections and chapters listed below can be viewed and downloaded online as they become available from the technical and substantive editors, Rina Opulencia and G.P. Hettel, respectively.
This resource, funded by the CGIAR Research Program on rice agri-food systems (RICE; formerly GRiSP), has been published with the assistance of a number of partners, especially the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice), and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT).
