Abstract

Rice blast is one of the most critical limiting factors for rice plant growth performance, and it occurs in 85 countries, causing 10-35% grain yield losses. Several findings have indicated the positive benefits of nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and Silicon (Si) fertilization on plant development, yield, and biotic stress relief. However, due to rice blast attacks, its growth, development, and yield may be restricted or limited by insufficient or unbalanced N, K, and Si fertilizers. This study was conducted to optimize the fertilization strategies for rice panicle blast control and improve rice grain yield. The methods used were Central Composite Design and Response Surface Methodology. The application of N, K and Si did not influence the number of spikelets per meter square, filled grain (%) and 1000- grain weight (g). An increase in K and Si significantly reduced the rice blast severity in the off-season 2021 and the main-season 2021/2022. On the other hand, only Si had influenced rice grain yield production. An increase in Si showed a positive linear trend in rice grain yield. Based on these results, panicle blast disease is expected to be controlled with the recommended rate of 104 N kg/ha, 42 P2O5, 80 kg K2O, and an additional 200 Si kg/ha, which minimizes the rice blast severity (%) but at the same time maximizes the rice grain yield. The findings of this study provide a scientific base and technical advice for high-yield rice grain-growing under panicle blast disease hot spot areas.
