Abstract
Effective timing for the application of chemicals in the control of rice diseases requires a clear understanding of the relationships between crop growth stage, disease development and yield. Recent studies on the importance of growth stage as a decision aid in the field management of blast and sheath blight diseases are discussed. Because such studies demand a precise definition of crop growth stage, adoption of a recent modification of the ‘Zadoks’ decimal code for cereals is proposed.
