Am I the only one amazed that corn that is that stunted and yellow produced ears that were 18 rows around? Maybe its a hybrid characteristic to have the "beer can" ears...short and fat.
But sure as heck that corn is dead, dead, dead. I don't think I've ever seen anything that bad before unless it was sand. Is that the milk line on the far right ear that looks like about 30%? That will be like a killing frost on Sept 1st for yield damage....massive
The corn was flying high before it was over come.
I am guessing it is northern leaf blight.
I drove 20 miles today and counted 48 corn fields in a row that are infected with leaf diseases. That is in Minnesota. The so called garden spot of the nation. The corn crop is shrinking by the day now. |
What anthracnose (not sure if that is how you spell it) can to to corn that had great potential.
