Thai jasmine rice cultivar ‘Khao Dowk Mali 105’ (KDML 105), which is susceptible to blast disease, was used in the present experiment. Rice seeds were sterilized with 1% sodium hypochlorite solution for 1 min and then rinsed with sterile water three times. The seeds were soaked in water 24 h before planting. Ten seedlings were planted in 10–inch plant pots containing approximately 5 kg of clay soil. The pots were incubated in a greenhouse under 12 h of natural light at 28°C ± 4°C with 60%–75% humidity.
