Abstract: To analyze the historical development and causes of rice bacterial leaf blight (BLB) and discuss the corresponding integrated control measures, occurrence conditions of BLB in China from 1960 to 2014 and Wenzhou from 1971 to 2015 were investigated. The results showed that BLB was serious from 1970s to early 1990s, then occurred intermittently in mid and late 1990s. After entering the 21st century, the occurrence of BLB showed a decreasing trend. However, in 2014 and 2015, the extensive and serious occurrence of BLB in east-south coast and river regions caused great rice yield losses in Zhejiang Province. The occurrence dynamics and influencing factor analysis indicated that the increase of BLB could be mainly attributed to the cultivation of susceptible varieties, degeneration of resistance, frequent typhoon storms, accumulation of the pathogen and improper cultivation and management practices. The control countermeasures including improving disease monitoring and warning, choosing resistant variety, controlling the primary infection origins, and the integrated management techniques such as seedling control, reasonable fertilizer and water management, scientific bactericide application in fields were suggested to effectively control the occurrence and prevalence of BLB.
