In 1981 Rice Black-Streaked Dwarf Virus (RBSDV) was severely occurred in Yeongnam area of Korea. The influence of RBSDV to rice plant was studied with two susceptible cultivars, Nagdongbyeo and Cheongcheongbyeo. The stunting rate was determined by the percentage of plant height of infected plants vs. healthy plants. When the rice plants were severely stunted by RBSDV, the yield components and yield were greatly reduced. The stunting of rice plants infected with RBSDV was caused mostly by the shortening of internodes in upper parts of the culm. The relationship between stunting rate of rice plants and yield was shown to have a negative exponential correlation. The regression equations of the relationship are experssed as follows: In Cheongcheongbyeo $Y=46.6lxe^{-0.0624_chi}$, and in Nagdongbyeo $Y=54.82xe^{-0.067_chi}$.
