In severe cause, the seedling   are blighted and become dead. The most characteristics symptoms of the disease is the development of dark brown spot on the upper surface of the leaf lamina. The spots are developed on the leaf blade and leaf sheath. The spots are various shapes and sizes. They are isolated dark-brown oval and scattered through out the leaf blade and leaf sheath. The spots developed also on leaf sheath and culm below the ear. The base of the panicle becomes shrunk and discolured. The inflorescence and individual spikelets also become infected. If the inflorescence is attacked at an   early stage , it fails to develop. The grains forms inside the affectd spikelets become discoloured 

Nature & recurrence of disease: 
Disease is primarily seed borned. The fungus is found as dormant mycelium in the husk and on the kernel and often it infects the germinating grain. Secondary  infection is caused by air borne conidia. Generally, such conidia are produced either from primary infected plants or from other sources.



Host plant: 
Wheat- Triticum aestivum,
sugercane- Sacchrum offiinalis, maize- Zea mays.

Control measure:  
i. Resistant varieties: Cultivation of resistant varieties BRRI-28, BRRI-29, BRRI-30, BR-3.

ii. Seed treatment: Seeds are treated with agrosan GN, organo mercurials. In 50-52ᵒc temperature for 10 minutes hot water treatment also done in severe cases.

iii. Spraying and dusting: Spraying of bordex mixture, perenox, Dihane-78 has been found to very effective.

Seed technologist use the term of refers to non-germination resulting from conditions within the seeds.  Dormancy is the state of inhibits growth of seeds or other plant organs as a result of internal causes not due to environmental condition. In other word, the unavailability of well developed mature, perfectly viable and healthy seed to germinate when placed under favorable conditions for germination is called dormancy or rest period of seed. Important of seed dormancy: 1. It is a mechanism which helps to survive this species. 2. It prevents the germination of seed in the field during production. 3. Dormancy helps to store the seed in the store house. 4. It contributes the congivity of the species.
