Biopriming in rice

In rice seeds, the food reserves are mainly stored in the form of lipids, proteins and starch in the endosperm. The protein and starch stored during seed maturation and desiccation, will be broken into small fragments and degraded gradually during germination. Protein degradation process contributes their amino acids to the biosynthesis of new proteins while starch degrading provides energy for cell multiplication during germination (Yang et al., 2007).

Rice, Results obtained in the experiments conducted to find out effect of seed bio-priming on management of sheath blight and sheath rot diseases of rice in field condition revealed that seed bio-primed with Trichoderma harzianum applied at imbibition was proved to be an excellent bio-agent to manage sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani) with minimum disease incidence (25.67%) and severity (21.63%) whereas Pseudomonas fluorescens applied at imbibition significantly manage sheath rot (Sarocladium oryzae) with minimum disease incidence (28.67%) and severity (23.41%).

Dirty panicle disease (DPD) caused by several fungal phytopathogens results in damage and depreciation of rice seeds. Unhealthy rice seeds with DPD are potent reservoirs of pathogens and unable to be used as seed stock as they can spread the disease in the paddy fields leading to the severe loss of rice yield and quality.
