Intercropping of rice varieties increases the efficiency of blast control through reduced disease occurrence and variability

Intercropping of rice varieties increases the efficiency of blast control through reduced disease occurrence and variability

Creating a crop-heterogeneous system by intraspecific mixtures of different rice varieties can substantially reduce blast diseases. Such variety mixtures provide an ecological approach for effective disease control, maintaining high yields with the minimum fungicide applications. Whether such an app...
