Abstract

The severity of spot blotch was significantly higher (53.4 & 59.2%) in plots treated with nitrogen (N) @120 kg ha−1 with no phosphorus (P) and potash (K). However, disease severity was moderate (29.2 & 34.1%) when plants were provided NPK fertilizers in the ratio of 60:70:70 that also played a major role in the enhancement of yield (4.98 & 4.84 t/ha).
