USA
August 16, 2012
Gray leaf spot is arguably the most important yield limiting disease of corn worldwide, and it is a serious threat to production in the U.S. Corn Belt.
To help growers, crop consultants and extension educators to improve their knowledge and understanding of this important foliar disease, Alison Robertson, Assistant Professor of Plant Pathology at Iowa State University, produced a webcast presentation on Gray Leaf Spot.
This webcast, published in the Plant Management Network's Focus on Corn resource, reviews characteristic symptoms of gray leaf spot, discusses the disease cycle and conditions that favor infection, and covers management options.
The research in this presentation was funded through a USDA-NIFA grant on corn diseases. Through links and attachments embedded in the webcast player, this presentation leads viewers to other important resources funded through this grant,
including:
- A two-page brochure titled “Foliar Fungicides for Corn: Targeting Disease”
- A 26-page booklet titled “Corn Foliar Diseases: Identification and Management Field Guide”
- Online crop management newsletters from the University of Illinois, Iowa State University, the University of Wisconsin, and The Ohio State University
- Various university-based crop management blogs
This presentation is permanently open access and can be viewed at http://www.plantmanagementnetwork.org/edcenter/seminars/outreach/corn/GrayLeafSpot/.
