Disease in Corn Found in One Indiana County
Published Wednesday, August 20, 2008 at 04:49 AM
Purdue Extension field crops disease specialist Kiersten Wise believes that early hailstorms and recent heavy rains and windstorms likely contributed to the infection and dispersal of Goss' wilt in Indiana fields. Wise points out - this is not a concern for consumers and has no impact on food safety.
Wise says – we don't know how much impact the bacteria will have on the corn crop in this area because we don't know what kind of resistance hybrids grown in Indiana have. The specialist called Goss’ bacterial wilt - a very manageable disease.
