The report notes widespread northern corn leaf blight in Iowa this year caused by a wind borne organism overwintering on diseased leaves. Early lesions appear on lower leaves as gray green spots turning brown, with 6 to 8 inch elongated canoes. High heat, dew, and humidity accelerate spread, threatening yields and later ear quality.
Farmers facing leaf blight are urged to harvest early as lodging can be almost guaranteed. The only sure control is planting resistant hybrids. Environment strongly affects infection, so farmers should distinguish resistance from escape, as same hybrid can show different reactions in different fields or dates.
