Abstract
1.To ascertain the effect of mixed infection by white tip nematodes and stem-rot fungus potted rice plants(Variety Asahi) were inoculated with husks of the nematode diseased grains or stemrot sclerotia.
2.The severity of stem-rot infection of the plants mixed inoculated with nematode and the stemrote sclerotia at the same time was lower than the plants inoculated only with the stem-rot fungus.
3. Both ear weight and 1000 unhulled-graing weight of rice decreased in the following order of plants infected with stem-rot fungus, with nematode, and mixed infected with both causal organisms.
