Management Practices

Plant varieties resistant to blast.
Avoid late planting.
Plant as early as possible within the recommended planting period.
For leaf blast, reflood if field has been drained. Maintain flood at 4 -6 inches to ensure soil is covered.
Do not over fertilize with nitrogen.
Apply a fungicide if necessary.
