This document provides information about blast disease of rice, including its history, symptoms, causal pathogen, disease cycle, and management strategies. It notes that blast disease was first seen in Japan in 1704 and caused 75% loss in Tanjavur, India in 1913. Symptoms include water-soaked lesions on all plant parts except roots. The pathogen is Pyricularia oryzae, which can survive for 1-2 years in plant residues and weeds. Disease management involves using healthy seed, seed treatment, removing weeds, balanced fertilization, and fungicide sprays at tillering and flowering stages. Resistant varieties include IR-64, Pant Dhan-16, and Pant Dhan Sank
