About Rice Doctor Assam EN

Rice Doctor is an interactive crop diagnostic tool for extension workers, students, researchers and other users who want to learn about and diagnose pest, disease, and other problems that occur in rice crops during the mid-season stage; information is also provided on how to manage these problems.

This product has been developed by Assam Agricultural University (AAU) with the technical support from International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in association with Department of Agriculture, Govt. of Assam under Assam Agri business and Rural Transformation Project (APART) and prepared by the Lucid team, originally at the University of Queensland, Australia but now at Identic Pty Ltd.

This interactive tool allows users to diagnose or at least make a short list of possible problems occurring in a rice crop. The key covers over 60 insect pests, diseases and other disorders. The combination of text descriptions and images helps users in the process of diagnosing their problems.

Fact sheets on each possible disorder provide brief descriptions of the signs and symptoms of specific problems, together with details of any available management options. A keyword search function enables users to directly access specific fact sheets.

For further information on these disorders, users can link to full fact sheets on the IRRI Rice Knowledge Bank website: https://www.rkbassam.in
