Surveys were made on the effect of numbers of false smut ball on blighted grain rate and yield loss rate of rice in fields,and the resistance of 62 varieties against false smut was detected by using natural inducing methods.The results showed that increase of the numbers of false smut ball could increase obviously the blighted grain rate and yield loss rate.The loss rate could reach over 36%,when the numbers of false smut ball per panicle was over 5.The results also indicated that 7 in 62 varieties were moderate resistance,accounted for 11.29% of the numbers of tested varieties,22 varieties were middle susceptibility and 33 varieties were susceptibility,accounted for 35.48% and 53.23% respectively.
