Based on Plant Pathology, how should you have convinced Chris’ father that it was indeed due to Rice Tungro and not just any nutrient disorder? What are the other characteristics and/or important observations in the field that you need to look at to further support Chris’ claim?
Mang Noel and Efren are very close friends. They live in a province which main source of income relies on farming. They both own 1 hectare of rice field. Before the implementation of ECQ, Mang Noel’s son, Chris, went home for a while. One Saturday morning, Chris with his father went to the field. While roaming around, his father observed something unusual in the rice plant. The plants exhibit yellowing that starts from the leaf tip and extends down to the lower leaf portion. Going back home, they passed by to the field of Mang Efren. Mang Noel mentioned to him the unusual thing in his field. Mang Efren advised him not to worry about and to apply fertilizer. With that, Chris’ father thought that it was just an ordinary case and believed that everything will go back to normal after nitrogen application. However, Chris was not convinced so he decided to consult a plant pathologist and eventually confirmed his intuition that the disease is Rice Tungro.
