Abstract

The field experiments were conducted during three kharif seasons 2012, 2013 and 2014 to study the effect of meteorological parameters on brown leaf spot of rice under different transplanting dates, methods and plant population. The experiment was laid out in split-split plot design with two transplanting dates (15th June and 30th June) in main plots, three methods of planting (conventional, SRI and furrow) in sub plots and two plant population (625 and 300 plants per m2) in sub-sub plots with three replications. The brown leaf spot incidence was recorded at weekly interval from the start of its incidence. The incidence of disease (percentage) was higher under conventional planting (58.6 %) followed by SRI (52.3 %) than furrow planting (49.9 %). The disease incidence was 5 per cent higher in high plant population (625 plants m-2) as compared to lower plant population (300 plants m-2) mainly due 4.1 per cent higher relative humidity within canopy. The correlation analysis revealed that minimum temperature and evening relative humidity significantly affected the disease incidence. The regression model developed with 2012 and 2013 data had highly significant R2 values which was validated with 2014 data.
