Objective:

1. Develop a bioassay for studying biotic and abiotic interactions in the root rot syndrome of sweet corn

"Sweet corn decline" emerged as a significant constraint to corn production in the Willamette Valley during the 1990's. During the winter of 2001-02 a group of farmers, industry agricultural professionals, and OSU personnel met to discuss strategies for improving our understanding of this syndrome and for identifying strategies for its management.

Objectives:

1. Characterize su and se and sh2 sweet corn hybrids for reaction to root rot and processing quality.
2. Examine the effect of fumigation on root rot,, firing and yield.

Objective: The purpose of this research was to verify fungicide performance observed in the previous two years.
