Professional Seed Research, Inc. announces a new series of
CD and printed material on Corn Disease Concepts. Each of the 6 volumes will be
presented in a form and language for non-technical and technical readers. Discussions will
integrate research information with 30 years of personal experience with diseases of corn,
varying corn genetics and a broad range of environments.
Volume 1, Stalk Rot of Corn, is especially appropriate because of the widespread
occurrence this season. The presentation discusses the basic causes of stalk rot, how to
evaluate fields and hybrids when the problem occurs, and solutions. Experimental evidence
of the relationship among yield potential, stresses and stalk rot are presented. Guidance is
given for analysis of causes of stalk rot, essential to making good decisions on hybrids and
cultural conditions for the next season.
The Stalk Rot of Corn volume includes 20 color photographs and numerous tables and
charts.
