Improving Postharvest Corn Disease Management
Author: Kiersten Wise
Planning Unit: Plant Pathology
Major Program: Integrated Plant Pest Management
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Postharvest ear rots of corn are caused by fungi that produce toxic compounds, known as mycotoxins. These ear rots and mycotoxins reduce yield and grain quality and reduce storage viability of grain. A workshop was held in Daviess County in February, 2018 to address postharvest grain storage issues. The Extension corn pathologist worked with the County Agent and other Extension specialists to create a one-day program. The program was well-received by attendees, with Poll Everywhere results indicating that 90% of attendees agreed or strongly agreed with the statements, “I will use this information in my operation,” and “I will share the information presented here with others.”
