Many pathogens cause seed decay and seedling blight in corn. The first symptom may be an area of the field with poor or no stand. Decayed seeds are very soft and may be covered with fuzzy fungal growth. Post emergence damping off appears as yellowing and wilted seedlings that soon collapse leaving only dead leaves above the soil. Favored by cool, wet soils, these diseases are more common in low-lying or poorly drained areas or in fields planted too early in spring. Standard seed treatment fungicides reduce risk. Planting when the soil is above 50°F and soil moisture is not excessive also may reduce risk. Ask local Extension for more information. @baldpathologist @alisonrISU @tjcksn @cropdoc08 @DTelenko @badgercropdoc @MartinChilvers1 @ppp_trey @travisfaske @YuanZeng3 @alabamaED @MandyBish1 @maddishires #plant26 #corn #grow26

@Tallawanta I’m sure there will be some cotton…..but gonna be a lot of soybean acres. Economists saying soybean is the safest bet.

@baldpathologist What are #Delta farmers planting considering urea and diesel prices? Is it beans and more beans? Any #cotton in #mississippi

Disease reduced corn yield by nearly 1.3 billion bushels worth more than $5.2 billion USD in 2025. Southern rust caused the greatest losses, followed by tar spot and northern corn leaf blight.

After tillering, stripe rust of wheat develops parallel to leaf veins, giving the foliage a distinct striped appearance. After infection, the fungus may produce new generations of spores in as few as 10 days under optimal conditions. The primary means to manage stripe rust is to plant resistant varieties. Consider applying fungicides to susceptible varieties if stripe rust has been detected in the region and forecasted conditions are favorable for disease development and spread. Applications at flag leaf emergence help protect the flag leaf and reduce yield loss.
