Southern Corn Blight Again Plagues County

Far m e n are now experienc-ing a return qf Southern Corn Leaf Blight disease In Rock-castle . County. Even though the disease has been detected on most corn fields In the county, It Is by no means In the epidemic stage since only an estimated one percent loss In grain caused by the disease has been reported. At this time last year, the county suf-fered a 12 to 15 percent loss of grain from the disease which Is caused by the fungus Helm-lnthosporlum maydls and de-velops on the ear and stalk.

One of the major concerns In addition to the leaf blight phase Is that the ear and stalk rot which can lead to several complications. The fungus can go through the husk and eventually cause deter-ioration of the grain. Usually

this type of Infection is fol-lowed by aecc'ikjary ftmgt such as Fusarlum or others which can add to the decay and with sufficient deterioration rals* the question as to whether the corn Is suitable for use as silage or for grain feed.

Research, to date, however Indicates that the fungus caus-ing leaf blight Is not toxic to animals and that Infested corn can be fed to animals either directly or as silage.
