In which ,Chhattisgarh is currently one of the main states for production and exporter of rice in India with occupies on average an area of 3.6 million hectares and the productivity range between 1.2 to 1.6 tonnes/ha. It is therefore these reasons that CG is called the “Rice Bowl” of Central India and it has won Krishi Karman award for achieving high rice production during the crop year 2012-13. The rice crop in CG can give much more production but the main problem high yielding variety show the susceptibility against disease pest due to cultivation of high fertilizer responsive cultivars and hybrids, heavy application of nitrogenous fertilizer, apparent change in climate, improper untimely and defective method of fungicides use. Around 75 types of rice diseases are occurred in India International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 09 (2019) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com False smut disease caused by Ustilaginoidea virens (Cooke) (Takahashi) is a grain disease of rice that converts whole grain into powder (smut balls) form. Disease infestation leads to sterile spikelets and reduction in 1000 grain weight. Considering the importance of disease the experiment was carried out to assessment of IDM module with Propiconazole and Carbendazim in rice through on field trials (OFT) against false smut disease in Kabirdham district of Chhattisgarh. The experiment was conducted in two consecutive years Kharif season 2014-15 and 2015-16 at different location of farmer’s field by supervision of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kabirdham (Chhattisgarh) as an on farm trial for control the false smut of rice. The experiment was observed by calculation of No. of infested Panicle/m2, Disease Incidence (%), No of smut bolls/ infected panicle and yield data with cost: benefit ratio. The use of Propiconazole 25 EC @ 0.1% at heading stage (50% Panicle emergence) stage increased yield by 8.45 % with reduced the No. of infested Panicle/m2, by 4.10% compare to farmer practices(Carbendazim and others fungicides used at recommended dose) no yield changes with 83.25 % panicle infestation. Propoconazole gave good result in all respective parameters with low cost and high benefit compare to farmer practices.
