N a previous publication, Tullis and Cralley ( 7 ) 3 mention draining I prior to maturity as a promising method for the control of stem rot of rice caused by Leptosphmria salvinii Catt. These observations were limited to the variety Supreme Blue Rose. Since that time additional experiments have been conducted to determine the effect of various irrigation treatments on stem rot severity of several rice varieties and on tillering, plant height, yield, and milling quality. Jones (4) has shown that different irrigation treatments affect rice yields. Tisdale and Jenkins (6) recommended draining as a control for straighthead of rice, and Isely and Schwardt (3) recommended draining for the control of rice water weevil.
