The field tests revealed that a submerged application of simeconazole granules (450-600 g ai/ha) at 1-5 weeks before heading was highly effective against kernel smut, with treatments 1-2 weeks before heading being the most effective. Submerged application of the fungicide at 2-5 weeks before heading was also highly effective against false smut, with treatment 3 weeks before heading being the most effective. These periods overlap the timing for optimal application of simeconazole to control rice sheath blight and ear blight. Consequently, we concluded that treatment with simeconazole 2-3 weeks before heading can be a useful tool for controlling all four diseases.
