Varieties key in controlling leaf blight
Lincoln University of Nebraska Lincoln extension plant pathologist Dr David S Wysong says hybrid corn varieties resistant to Southern Corn Leaf Blight will help curb disease spread in Nebraska this crop season though not eliminate it. He notes three factors influence SCLE risk: early presence of the fungus, overwintering debris, and weather conditions favoring growth. Resistant varieties, despite higher seed costs, offer the best insurance against outbreaks and can shift severe losses to mild ones.

Dr Ruth M Leverton, ARS science adviser, told the Northern District of Virginia Dietetic Association that organically grown foods, while sometimes fresher and tastier, do not have greater nutritive value. She noted soil microbes convert nutrients to inorganic forms before uptake, and organic methods raise costs by one third to one half without boosting essential nutrients.

Magdanz argued that actions would be inequitable to farmers and that prices and costs have not moved in tandem over two years. He cited price declines and rising production costs, urging no action that would shift losses to producers.
