Blast (Pyricularia o1yzae) is the serious problem of local Rice cultivar Jumli Marshi at high altitude region of Nepal and causes
significant losses in yield. Thus, in order to detennine the chemical control against Blast disease grown at the irrigated condition, a
field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, Jumla, Nepal in 2004-2005 summer season. This rice variety,
Jumli marshi local, was treated with different doses of chemicals like Beam, Bavistin and Hinosan. The most effective chemical on
seed treatment was found to be Beam @2gm/kg of seed before sowing, which yielded 2842 kglha. whereas Beam @1.5gmlkg of
seed treatment yielded 2224 kglha.
