Abstract
Grain discoloration disease of rice is becoming a serious threat to rice crop in Pakistan. Rice panicles infested with grain discoloration disease were collected from rice areas of NIAB, Faisalabad, Sheikhupura, Samundri, PirMahal and Vehari. Eight pathogens namely Bipolaris oryzae, Alternaria alternata, Alternaria padwickii, Drechslera oryzae, Fusarium moniliforme, Curvularia oryzae, Nigrospora oryzae and Aspergillus niger were isolated from diseased samples. Four fungicides vis. Dithane M-45, Ridomil, Topsin-M and Carbendazim were checked for the control of pathogens. Dithane and Ridomil showed best control over mycelial growth of all isolated pathogens except F. moniliforme where Carbendazim was found the best followed by Topsin M, Dithane M-45 and Ridomil respectively. Diseased grains treated with both of these fungicides showed maximum germination and least seedling mortality.
