Overview

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

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)
