A new bacterial pathogen, bacterial streak, was found in the Texas Panhandle corn crop this year, and while its effects were inconsequential, it bears watching in the future, according to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service specialists.
In June and July, corn leaves with brown, tan, orange to reddish streaks or stripes were observed and fully confirmed in a few fields in Hansford and Hutchinson counties in the Texas Panhandle, said Dr. Ron French, AgriLife Extension plant pathologist in Amarillo.
