Through the latest Focus on Corn presentation, titled “Seedling Diseases of Corn”, Dr. Martin Chilvers, Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist at Michigan State University, examines the identification and management of seedling diseases that can occur in corn.
In this 15-minute talk, Chilvers discusses:
