Leaf blight threatens the world leader in rice production, India. Leaf blight concerns agricultural sustainability, economic stability, and rural life since rice feeds millions. This method will assess leaf blight's prevalence,
economic effects, and control strategies on rice growing in
India's varied agro-ecological zones. Initial investigations
reveal that rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, and
monoculture practices are aggravating leaf blight. Leaf blight cuts output by 30%, affecting farmers and aggravating food poverty in vulnerable people. We explore the indirect costs and environmental impacts of pesticides. Chemical fungicides are farmers' major management method, presenting
sustainability and efficacy concerns. Our assessment of
current management practices indicates the need for biological, cultural, and chemical integrated pest management (IPM) solutions. This promotes resistant rice
cultivars and disease detection and management training for
farmers. To properly share knowledge and resources,
government, academic, and farmer organizations must
collaborate. It suggests that altering weather patterns may
promote leaf blight due to climate change. It stresses climateresilient agriculture to combat leaf blight and other emerging diseases.
