The presence of Fusarium fungi on crop debris or seed can cause Fusarium seedling blight and foot and root rot. [1] Later, infection of the heads can occur with spores spreading by rain splash from infected crop residues. Another major infection route is airborne inoculum as spores can travel long distances with the wind. [4]
If infection of the shank occurs early enough the ear may be killed prematurely which causes the ear to drop. SCLB affected kernels will be covered in a felty, black mold, which may cause cob rot. [1] Ear rot is more extensive with Race T on T-cms corn. [8] Seedlings that become infected may wilt and die within a view weeks of the planting date ...

Similar to other rodenticides, the preparation requires 3–7 days to be effective. Rather than killing rodents through internal haemorrhaging as anticoagulants do, [9] PCC affects a rodent’s digestive system, causing acute dehydration due to its extremely absorptive nature (corn cob has been used in applications such as oil spills in water bodies, seed drying and de-icing).

This ear of corn has been infected with Mycosarcoma maydis. The fungus infects all parts of the host plant by invading the ovaries of its host. The infection causes the corn kernels to swell up into tumor-like galls, wherein the tissues, texture, and developmental pattern are mushroom-like. The galls grow to 4 to 5 inches in diameter.
Corn syrup explained: The liquid sweetener manages the unlikely feat of being one of the most valuable and most misunderstood ingredients in the kitchen.
Candy corn, like many other Halloween candies, doesn’t provide any nutritional value. A serving of candy corn has about 22 grams of sugar. A serving of candy corn has about 22 grams of sugar.
As the disease progresses, the lesions grow together and create large areas of dead leaf tissue. The lesions found in Northern corn leaf blight are more acute if the leaves above the ear are infected during or soon after flowering of the plant. [4] In susceptible corn hybrids, lesions are also found on the husk of ears or leaf sheaths.
