Excerpt from Corn Root, Stalk, and Ear Rot Diseases, and Their Control Thru Seed Selection and Breeding
The actual losses caused by com diseases in the corn belt states cannot be accurately estimated. If it were possible to determine the losses caused by poor stands resulting from the planting of infected seed and also the losses due to the stunting of the growth of the many remaining plants, withthe consequent reduction in size of ears, it is believed that the total would be fully 10 percent and perhaps more. Losses varying from 5 to 50 percent have been Observed by the authors.
The breeding and multiplication of productive strains and varie ties oi corn highly resistant to disease and to injury from unfavorable soil and weather conditions is recognized as a problem demanding the attention and active cooperation of experiment station workers, corn breeders, and corn growers. Several years of experimental work bearing on various angles of the subject are reported in the present bulletin. A glance at the table of contents will show the scope of the work. The summary on pages 470 and 471 states briefly the out standing facts of the study.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of corn diseases, exploring the factors that contribute to their development and the devastating impact they have on crop yields. The author, a pioneer in the field of corn breeding, meticulously examines a range of parasitic organisms that infect corn plants, from the common scutellum rot to the less familiar black-bundle disease. He also investigates the role of environmental factors, such as soil temperature and moisture, in influencing disease susceptibility. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to exploring the genetic factors that determine a plant's resilience to various diseases, a topic of growing importance for agricultural researchers. The author's work, conducted in the early 20th century, reflects the growing concern at the time about the impact of diseases on crop production. By analyzing the causes of disease and exploring the genetic basis of resistance, this book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the challenges facing corn growers and lays the foundation for future advancements in corn breeding.
