Losses reach 4 to 5 bushels per acre, eroding about 106 dollars per farm yearly on the average 50 acre corn plot. In 1922, 4100 ears from 41 farms were tested with disease in seed samples.
Samples of corn were tested for mold presence and planted for yield checks. Healthy mold-free corn yielded 7.7 bushels per acre more than infected corn and 4.3 bushels per acre more than the composite sample, suggesting farmers could boost cre by 43 bushels per acre or 212 bushels per 50 acre field. The rag doll tester is recommended to detect mold in seed corn before planting.
