• Rice blast is one of the most destructive diseases of rice. 
• A leaf blast infection can kill seedlings or plants up to the tillering stage. 
• At later growth stages, a severe leaf blast infection reduces leaf area for grain fill, reducing grain yield.

• Initial symptoms appear as white to gray-green lesions or spots, with dark green borders.
• Older lesions on the leaves are elliptical or spindle-shaped and whitish to gray centers with red to brownish or necrotic border.
