Management Of Grassy Stunt Virus In Paddy
Grassy stunt virus disease of paddy is commonly seen in fields where rice is grown continuously throughout the year. The disease is easily spread through vectors from one plant to the next.
The affected plants show rosette shape and grassy appearance. The plants grow straight as well. The leaves will turn yellow or yellow-green, which will gradually be small and thin. Even after infection, the plants grow fully but they will not produce panicles.
Note: As the virus is spread by brown plant hopper, spraying the below insecticides will control the spread of the virus in the field.
Apart from using resistant varieties, you must also ensure thorough ploughing of the field and removal of stubbles right after the previous harvest. This will help remove any kind of host or vector for the virus.
