Overview

This three-page factsheet describes the symptoms and phases of this new disease, as well as yield impact, and management.

Corn is the most important agricultural crop in the United States based on production volume. In Texas, fungi are the most common cause of corn diseases. However, during the 2021 cropping season, sudden, drought stress-like symptoms developed on previously green and healthy corn stands in a fungicide trial study at the Texas A&M AgriLife Experiment Station at Bushland, Texas. A new disease in corn was discovered and designated as "Late-season Decline" (LSD) disease. (3 Pages)
