Abstract
Maize kernels were assayed for endogenous fungi at weekly intervals from 1 wk before the midsilk stage to 9-10 wk after midsilk. F. moniliforme was first isolated 2 wk after midsilk and infection increased each week to 35-66% at final assay. C. acremonium was first detected 3-4 wk after midsilk and infection increased weekly to 30-45% at final assay. Kernel infection by F. moniliforme in the tip half of corn ears before maturity and by C. acremonium in the butt half at maturity was most common.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
