The study was conducted to know the influence of nitrogenous fertilizer levels, planting density and integrated disease management (IDM) on the severity of sheath blight of rice in northern Karnataka. The results indicated that, application of 200 kg N per ha recorded higher per cent disease index (PDI) of 40.37 per cent. However, increased N application from 100 kg N to 350 kg N per ha resulted in increased PDI from 17.04 to 62.60%, respectively. Minimum PDI (23.33%) and higher grain yield (67.80 q/ha) were recorded at 150 kg N per ha which is the recommended N dosage in Thunga Bhadra Project command area of Karnataka state. Among different planting densities, the system of rice intensification (SRI) method (16 hills/m2) recorded least PDI (5.00%) and highest grain yield (67.16 q/ha) whereas increased planting density from 20 to 70 hills per m2 resulted in higher PDI from 6.86 to 45.18 per cent, respectively. However, at 50 hills per m2, 16.12 PDI was recorded with a grain yield of 60.53 q per ha which is the recommended planting density. In the integrated disease management (IDM) trial, wherein, use of cultivar, IR-64 (moderately resistant variety) with foliar application of fungicide hexaconazole (@0.1%) resulted in minimum PDI of 21.26% with higher grain yield of 71.74 q per ha as against 34.73 PDI and 56.87 q per ha grain yield in Samba mahsuri (susceptible variety).Keywords
