What are the control methods for rice kernel smut?
Symptoms Also known as smut, rice dark smut, black kernel smut, etc. It is distributed in the Yangtze River Basin and areas to the south in China, mainly occurring from the flowering stage to the milk-ripe stage of rice, and only infecting the grains. Each panicle may have 1, several, or even dozens of infected grains, with symptoms generally appearing when the rice is near maturity. Infected rice grains turn a dirty green or dirty yellow color, containing black powdery material inside. At maturity, the abdomen splits open, exposing the black powder. Between the inner and outer glumes of the diseased grain there is a black tongue-shaped protrusion, and a black liquid often oozes out, contaminating the surface of the grain. When the diseased grain is opened, the seed can be seen to be partially or entirely transformed into black powdery material.
