Fusarium Ear Rot

Fungal
Symptoms

Fusarium ear rot results in white to salmon-pink discoloration of individual kernels or groups of kernels scattered over the ear. A white to pinkish weft of mycelia covers the kernels, especially on the tip of the ear. In severe infections the ears may be completely consumed by the fungus, leaving lightweight husks cemented to the kernels by mycelia.
