How can you tell whether rice seeds carry disease?
How do you tell whether rice seeds carry disease? Is there a way to identify it? We ask knowledgeable readers to help guide us. The Zhondi website has compiled methods for identifying whether rice seeds carry disease, listed below for readers' reference. Generally, if rice seeds contain diseased grains infected with bakanae disease, these become seedlings; some have a linear stripe at the suture of the outer glume of the grain, while the surface of the grain shows no symptoms.

Grains carrying rice blast disease have lesions, usually oval or irregular in shape, brown or dark brown, sometimes even turning black. When the sterile glumes and pedicel are infected, the diseased part appears gray or dark brown.
For sesame leaf spot disease (brown spot disease), the lesions on each grain are generally round, oval or irregular small black spots, and in severe cases the whole grain turns brown. When the air is humid, black mold often grows on the lesions.
