Fig. 2. Incidence of rice <strong>tungro</strong> <strong>disease</strong> (RTD) in varieties with different resistance characteristicsunder four methods of crop establishment. DS = direct seeding.Synchrony can also be achieved by rotating two rice crops with a nonrice cropsuch as mungbean, as farmers do in Hagonoy, Davao del Sur. Another importantcomponent of cultural practices is the broadcasting method or direct seeding. Cropestablishment by direct seeding has become popular in both dry and wet seasons inMidsayap to shorten planting time right after irrigation during land preparation. Farmersconsider this method to be easier, faster, and cheaper than transplanting (Truong et al,Community-based rice pest <strong>management</strong>, this volume). GLH-resistant varieties suchas IR56 established by transplanting or direct seeding had the lowest incidence ofRTD (2–12%) (Fig. 2A-D). A high seeding rate (120 kg ha -1 ), however, reduced theinfection rate of RTD on GLH-resistant varieties IR62 and PSB Rc 34 and susceptiblevarieties IR64 and IR66 during the first 4–5 wk after broadcasting (Fig. 2B). Diseaseincidence on IR64 reached as high as 60-80% as the crop grew older, while <strong>disease</strong>incidence on IR62 and PSB Rc 34 remained low (8–18%). Likewise, rotation of twoto three GLH-resistant varieties after two to three cropping seasons and synchronoustransplanting based on communal seedbed preparation were promoted by the BoholAgricultural Promotion Center (APC), and are being practiced by farmers within the40-ha contiguous irrigated farms. APC regularly monitored leafhoppers andplanthoppers by kerosene light trap, and conducted training for extension workers ofLGUs on identifying RTD symptoms and on other diagnostic tests.<strong>Rice</strong> <strong>tungro</strong> <strong>disease</strong> 7
ConclusionsRTD has declined markedly in Central Luzon rice production areas since the majoroutbreak in 1971. However, it remains the most important rice <strong>disease</strong> in the irrigatedlowland ecosystem, especially in locations with insufficient irrigation water and staggeredplanting practices such as some areas in Mindanao. These are commonly knownas “hot spots” or endemic rice <strong>tungro</strong> areas. Major outbreaks have sporadically occurredin the past 8 yr and affected from 900 to 2,700 ha annually. More research andextension efforts are needed to understand and regularly monitor the agroecosystemto forecast RTD development and to avoid <strong>disease</strong> outbreaks. RTD <strong>management</strong> inthese areas largely depended on the campaign to practice regular planting with a fallowperiod or synchronous planting, availability of GLH-resistant varieties, and insecticideapplication. The introduction of a few advanccd breeding lines resistant torice <strong>tungro</strong> virus has just begun and is limited to some farmers' groups in rice <strong>tungro</strong>endemicvillages in Midsayap, North Cotabato.ReferencesAlfonso AA, Viray MCC, Maramara GV, Tiongco ER, hfartin HC. 1906, Transfer of <strong>tungro</strong>resistance from O. rufipogon into cultivated rice.
