Khaira disease is a major disease in paddy. In this disease, light yellow spots are formed on the leaves, which later turn brown. In the acute stage of the disease, the diseased leaves start drying up. The buds are few and the growth of the plants is stunted. This disease is caused by the deficiency of zinc in the soil.
To control this, apply Gromor (Zinc Sulphate) @ 5 kg per acre evenly, or spray Talwar Zinc Super-14 (Chelated Zinc 12%) mixed with 1 gram per litre of water.
