Bao Yen: 27 hectares of rice infected with bacterial leaf blight and streak disease

Bacterial leaf blight and streak disease are caused by the bacteria Xanthomonas Oryzae. The lesions are like water-soaked stripes on the leaf edges, yellow to white in color, first appearing at the leaf tips or both sides of the leaf edges, then gradually spreading to the leaf blade. If the disease is not prevented in time, it will cause the rice leaves to dry out, lose the ability to photosynthesize, and significantly reduce productivity.

Bacterial leaf blight and streak disease are harmful to spring rice.

Immediately after detecting pests, Bao Yen District Agricultural Service Center coordinated with the People's Committees of communes and agricultural extension officers to conduct field inspections, disseminate information, and advise people on timely prevention and control measures to prevent the spread of the disease.

Accordingly, people need to regularly visit the fields, monitor and detect diseases early; take proper care for healthy rice growth, balance fertilization, and regulate water appropriately; do not apply too much nitrogen, apply nitrogen late and for a long time; pay attention to combining nitrogen with manure, phosphorus, and potassium.

Staff of Bao Yen District Agricultural Service Center instruct people on how to properly spray pesticides to prevent bacterial leaf blight and bacterial stripe disease.

When detecting that the field is starting to get sick, it is necessary to keep the water level at 3 - 5 cm, absolutely do not apply chemical fertilizers, foliar fertilizers and growth stimulants, only apply fertilizers after the disease has been treated; use chemicals such as: Visen 20SC, Basu 250WP... to spray.

People need to carefully read the dosage on the manufacturer's packaging label, and follow the 4-right principle: "right medicine; right dosage, concentration, right time, right way".
