Stage-specific resistance to leaf and neck blast ( Pyricularia oryzae ) in basmati and aromatic rice germplasm: phenotypic and multivariate analysis

Rice blast (Pyricularia oryzae) is a major constraint in basmati rice production. In the present study, 96 basmati and aromatic rice genotypes were evaluated for stage-specific resistance to leaf and neck blast under artificial inoculation (Ludhiana) and natural epiphytotic (Pala...
