Blast O Spot

What is it about?

As plant diseases and the agility of providing treatment for plants with the correct diagnosis affect the economic and technical importance in the agricultural industry, identifying plant diseases remains a crucial responsibility for farmers to farm resiliently and confidently. Compared to plant disorders, plant diseases have significant detrimental aftereffects on the health of the plants because they can affect both the seedlings and mature plants and are contagious for healthy plants. Plant diseases can generally be defined as an impairment in a part or the whole plant caused by fungi, viruses, nematodes, or bacteria. Out of these diseases, Brown Spots (caused by the fungus Bipolaris oryzae) and Blast (caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae) are two of the most adverse plant diseases that enormously affect the milling quality and yield of grains.
