Abstract
Artificial inoculation of Ustilaginoidea virens (Cooke.) Tak. culture d in vitro was made by injecting at nightfall during booting stage of rice . The mixture of hyphae broken and conidia of the pathogen could cause serious disease of false smut. The maximum percentage of infected panicle(PIP) was 100 %, the maximum number of spore balls(NSB) of a panicle was 106, and the maximum disease index(DI) was 85.5.Disease severities caused by different strains, and disease severities of different rice materials caused by the pathogen were different; and there was obvious correlationship between DI and PIP, and between DI and average NSB of a panicle. It seemed that there existed specific interaction between strain a nd variety.
