Abstract:
Sheath blight disease management focuses mostly on combining cultural measures with chemical control. Disease prevention through biological means is cost-effective, long-lasting, and free from lingering adverse effects. A number of studies have shown that strobilurin-based compounds, including as azoxystrobin, trifloxystrobin, and metominostrobin, are more effective and environmentally friendly at managing the disease than other fungicides that are sold commercially. This study aims to identify successful disease management strategies using Cultural and Biological management. Findings from this research emphasize the importance of adopting an integrated disease management approach for sustainable and productive rice cultivation. Employing a combination of cultural, biological, and chemical methods can effectively mitigate disease severity, reduce reliance on singular control measures, and minimize environmental impacts.
