THE "FOOT-ROT" OF PADDY & ITS CONTROL

Abstract

In a previous paper the writer (1931) drew attention to the occur- rence of a paddy disease new to the Madras Presidency and described its field symptoms as they were observed on Gurikasannavari a popular variety grown in the Godavari delta. This disease has been named 'Foot-rot' which signifies the effect of the fungus on the host plant. The disease has since been observed on paddy in other parts of the Presidency also and has been recorded either sporadically or in artificial culture on over fifty varieties of paddy representing all the important paddy tracts of the province.
