Abstract

Dry rot of corn caused by Diplodia zeae was very prevalent in Iowa the past season (1921), particularly in the central portion of the state. The disease originates in the old stubble and stalks of the previous season from which the spores of the organism are blown to the corn plants. Under conditions of extreme moisture and high temperature the spores germinate, grow and attack the corn.
