A siRNA targeting a key gene of Magnaporthe oryzae for controlling rice blast and use thereof, and relates to the field of biotechnology. The siRNA targets silence of a MOHS1 gene (MGG_08523) of Magnaporthe oryzae. The siRNA molecule can delay and inhibit the formation of an appressorium of the Magnaporthe oryzae, thereby reducing the pathogenicity of the Magnaporthe oryzae, thereby providing a novel method for controlling the rice blast. The siRNA molecule targeting the MOHS1 gene is prepared into a nucleic acid pesticide, and the nucleic acid pesticide is sprayed onto leaves of Oryza sativa L., which effectively reduces the number and area of lesions of the rice blast on the leaves, in turn can be used for controlling the rice blast, and can avoid a tedious process of cultivating genetically modified crops and the concerns of consumer groups.
