Identification and characterization of pyricularia oryzae, the causal agent of rice blast disease from different fields in Malacca / Nur Hanani Masirun
Blast disease caused by Pyricularia oryzae is considered the most important fungal disease of rice due to its wide distribution and destructiveness under favourable conditions. In Malacca, blast is one of the disease that affect the production of rice. Fortunately, the incidence this disease in this...
