Blast and bacterial leaf blight diseases are major diseases, which cause damage to yield and quality of rice in Thailand. Testing the reaction of lines/rice varieties from gene bank germplasm (Rice Department) and germplasm from International rice research institute (IRRI) under the International network for genetic evaluation of rice (INGER). Test reaction to blast and bacterial leaf blight diseases, with the objective for selection of lines/rice varieties resistant to blast and bacterial leaf blight disease at Chainat rice research center. In 2008 – 2014 used 1,200 gene bank germplasms for test reaction to blast disease. Evaluated blast disease at seedling stage was conducted under the upland short row conditions (natural infections). The results showed... |
