![]() There is a need to use environmentally safe approaches to overcome the loss of grain yield in rice due to this disease. Formulations of various botanicals along with biological agents may be commercializing to help farmers to combat the disease. Evidence from my laboratory suggest that biological control is the best option having ecofriendly activities for the management either using botanicals or through some biological agents. Up to this extent, multi cropping using resistant varieties appears to be better option for the disease’s management. Studies on pathogen variation have revealed that breeding with single major gene for resistance may be unsuccessful due to breakdown in resistance. This article comprehensively reviews the etiology, symptomatology, pathogen biology, disease development, disease cycle, epidemics and epidemiology, geographical distribution and strategies for the disease management viz., exploitation of host plant resistance, cultural, physical, chemical and biological control. Abstract | This is a status review article on the destructive bacterial blight disease of rice, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv.
