Rice blast disease is one of the diseases that causes damage to rice yield in Thailand. This research
aims to simulate the severity of rice blast disease using the EPIRICE model for Khao Dawk Mali 105 that caused by
Pyricularia oryzae
in Prachin Buri, Thailand, and evaluate the simulation results by comparing with field collection
data using root mean square error (RMSE). The epidemiological model consists of a system of ordinary differential
equations (ODEs) that describes the dynamic of rice leaf disease. The Euler’s method is used to approximate the
solutions of the ODEs. According to the RMSE, the simulation results were good agreement with the field collection
data. Therefore, the numerical methods can be the technical tool for solving the severity of rice blast disease.
