Abstract

Potent (0.1%) and BAU-Biofungicide (2%) revealed the significant reduction both in disease severity and incidence of narrow brown leaf spot disease, and the lowest disease severity and incidence of bacterial leaf blight disease were 3.00% and 5.83%, respectively in BRRI dhan29 in 2012 year. BAU-Biofungicide (Trichoderma based preparation), extract of garlic (Allium sativum) and neem (Azadirachta indica), Bavistin DF (Carbandazim) and Potent 250 EC (Propiconazole) were evaluated in controlling narrow brown leaf spot and bacterial leaf blight disease (Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae) under field condition for producing seed quality and controlling seed borne pathogen of rice cv BRRI dhan29 during 2012 and 2013 years. Maximum normal seedling (87.67%) and 37.49% higher increase in vigour index on seed quality test of harvested seeds were observed with BAU-Biofungicide (3%) over control. BAU-Biofungicide (2 and 3%) and Potent 250 EC (0.1%) were found to be effective in controlling seed borne pathogens. BAU-Biofungicide has also been attributed as profound contribution on quality seed production of harvested seed of BAU-Biofungicide sprayed plot.
