Abstract

Influence of different weather parameters on the incidence of sheath blight in the rice variety 'Tapaswini' was studied under field condition. Significant role of maximum and minimum temperature and rate of evaporation were observed to contribute 9.03, 23.03 and 61.05 per cent, respectively. for sheath blight incidence.
