An Overview of Infectious Diseases Affecting Maize

Marvin Redenuis is the president of Christina Corporation, a 113-acre farm in Belmont, Iowa. He is also a member of a farming coop called Northern Central Coop. Marvin Redenuis farm is a family-owned farm that produces soybeans and maize as its main crops.

The most widely grown grain in the world is maize (Zea mays L. corn). Excluding Antarctica, it is grown on every continent. There are approximately 50 species, which come in various colors, textures, grain forms, and sizes. The most popular cultivated maize varieties are white, yellow, and red.

Fungi are responsible for the greater part of corn diseases. Some, on the other hand, are caused by bacteria. Holcus leaf spot, Goss's Wilt, Stewart's Wilt, and bacterial stalk rot are the most common bacterial infections in corn-growing areas. Bacterial illnesses spread through wounds created by parasites, wind, hail, or blown soil. Tillage, weed control, rotation, and resistant products can all be used to combat bacterial infections.
