Rates of lesion development over time and disease gradients over distance for blast disease on the two rice varieties, Brazos and M-201 were significantly affected by two different cultural conditions, upland and flooded conditions. Flooding rice field plots lowered the rates of lesion increase and flattened the disease gradients for both varieties. Despite absence of statistically significant differences in the rate of lesion increase between four sampled distances from infection focus, rate of lesion development tended to be slightly greater as distance from the infection focus increases. Rate of lesion increase was greater with more susceptible variety M-201 than with Brazos. Disease gradient was steeper for M-201 than for Brazos. As blast disease progressed, disease gradients became flattened regardless of variety due to the infections originated from secondary foci. Between two empirical disease gradient models examined, Kiyosawa and Shiyomi model was fitted better over Gregory model. Rates of blast isopath movement under upland conditions were calculated as approximately 0.2 m/day and 0.4 m/day for Brazos and M-201, respectively. The results in this study suggest that differences in varietal resistance to blast could be detected by measuring disease gradient as efficiently as by measuring infection rate
