Subject: RE: How bad are the corn diseases?



Dodge Co, Wi
Not a whole lot of info yet as corn is just getting started in earnest with the weather too damp for soys, yields are phenomenal, and from what I'm hearing ear rots are the name of the game this year, Giberella, Fusarium and Dyplodia, some say this is as bad as it's been since the 80's when one year the whole crop was condemned. Vomi' tests are coming back with anywhere from 2-25 ppm DON, haven't heard any numbers on ZEN as yet. Standability in the Bt hybrids seems to be alright, apparently we had a bad ECB year this year as the non-Bt hybrids are standing poorly, stalk rots are present but not a real concern from what I've heard.
