ABSTRACT

The experiment was conducted to know the effect of seed treatment with non-conventional chemicals, plant extracts and homoeopathic drugs on the incidence of disease and production of rice. All the selected chemicals plant extracts and homoeopathic drugs were able to decrease the disease severity, yield and 1000-grain weight in comparison to untreated control considerably in both the years. Data presented in Table 1 and 2 clearly indicated that non-conventional chemicals (Ferrous sulphate, Mercuric chloride, 2, 4-D, Sodium azide, Zinc sulphate, Copper sulphate and Cysteine), plant extracts (Neem leaf and Vinca leaf extracts) and Homoeopathic drugs (Sulphur and Thuja) can be used as seed treatment to reduce the disease severity by 20-30 per cent and to get considerable 15-26 per cent increase in yield and 1000-grain weight.
