An organic based botanical source wood vinegar was screened for its efficacy to improve paddy crop yield under ex-situ condition. A field experiment was executed to evaluate the field efficacy of wood vinegar on paddy with respect to yield improvement, pest and disease control. A paddy was selected in alanganallur village of Madurai district during 2022-2023. Wood vinegar as various doses viz 5ml, 10ml, 15ml and 20ml per litre of water was considered for executing in paddy crops by which the growth observation, pest and disease incidence reduction were carried out. Among various concentrations of wood vinegar tested, 15ml per litre treated paddy plants showed satisfactory results in productivity and minimized level of thrips and rice blast infestation.
