Abstract Production and productivity of rice is reduced due to the emerging disease grain discoloration. The disease is a complex symptom due to the association of a number of pathogenic and saprophytic fungi that infect the rice grains both in field and storage conditions. These pathogens not only reduce yield and quality, but also produce harmful mycotoxins which are detrimental to human and animal life. Looking into the severity of the disease, present investigation was undertaken to assess the disease loss among the popular rice varieties growing in eastern India, associated mycoflora and their effect on growth and quality parameters and disease management using selected biocontrol agents. The results indicated that, a significant loss in yield and quality of rice is observed in popular rice varieties (P

印度东部流行水稻品种 (Oryza sativa L) 的谷物变色、相关菌群、质量损失和使用选定生物防治剂的管理

摘要 由于新出现的病害谷物变色，水稻的产量和生产力下降。由于在田间和储存条件下感染稻谷的许多致病性和腐生性真菌相关联，该病害是一种复杂的症状。这些病原体不仅会降低产量和质量，还会产生对人类和动物生命有害的有害真菌毒素。考虑到该病害的严重程度，目前的调查是为了评估在印度东部种植的流行水稻品种的病害损失、相关菌群及其对生长和质量参数的影响以及使用选定的生物防治剂进行病害管理。结果表明，在流行的水稻品种中观察到水稻产量和质量的显着下降（P
