Total digestible nutrients and digestible energy were reduced by 10.5 and 10.6 percent, respectively[14]. The ideal environment for NCLB occurs during relatively cool, wet seasons. NCLB also causes significant reduction in quality in sweet corn and silage corn. It was first reported from Gujarat, India, by Desai et al. A. Nagaraja, I.K. Financial loss, however, varies depending on the incidence, prevailing environment, and resistance in the cultivar grown. TABLE OF CONTENT. Researchers have found that a small peptide called the E.t. Maize leaf showing elongated, spindle-shaped necrotic lesions caused by turcicum leaf blight (Setosphaeria turcica, anam. Under many tropical conditions and especially on susceptible genotypes, considerable grain and fodder yield losses of up Turcicum leaf blight (TLB) caused by Exserohilum turcicum (Pass.) Disease cycle of southern corn leaf blight caused by Cochliobolus heterostrophus race T. Northern corn leaf blight, caused by Setosphaeria turcica, anamorph Exserohilum turcicum, affects only the leaves. Plants with Ht1 Ht2, or Ht3 genes have smaller, chlorotic lesions and reduced sporulation. Leaf blight of grain sorghum. toxin allows a non-pathogenic isolate of E. turcicum to infect corn when suspensions of conidia and the toxin were in contact with the leaves. If possible, planting in low areas that receive heavy dew and fog should be avoided. GEORGE N. AGRIOS, in Plant Pathology (Fifth Edition), 2005. Severe outbreaks of the disease can cause up to 30-50% yield loss in dent corn if the disease is established before tassel. has been cited by the following article: Article. Disease management through host plant resistance is the most effective strategy, but this requires information on population biology of the pathogen and the effect of environment. Cohen and Eyal38 recently reviewed the occurrence of these two pathogens. Myrothecium roridum incites stem and fruit rind decay, before and after harvesting. After tasseling and silking, timing becomes less important since plant expansion will have slowed down. & Hans. Helminthosporium turcicum Pass.) Mass selection done in this manner only selects on females, while the male parent is chosen at random through open pollination. CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): Abstract- Seven fungicides were evaluated in vitro against Exserohilum turcicum causing leaf blight of maize The treatment mancozeb 0.25 % and combination treatments of carbendazim and mancozeb i.e. Leonard and E.G. Leonard and Suggs" by Sharanappa I. Harlapur 11-62D). NCLB can cause yield loss if it develops before or during the tasseling and silking phases of corn development. Introduction. Incorporating both the Ht1 and Ht2 provide resistance against both Races 0 and 1. OF SORGHUM - A REVIEW. Ambayeba Muimba-Kankolongo, in Food Crop Production by Smallholder Farmers in Southern Africa, 2018. CORN LEAF BLIGHT . Genetic resistance to leaf blight is a quantitative polygenic trait and its effect can be additive or recessive (Kump et al., 2010). The index weights in the family selection index take into account the additive genetic covariance among relatives and the heritability of the trait. [7], Sporulation requires a 14-hour dew period between 20 and 25 °C (77 °F). ); Bipolaris turcica (Pass.) Background: Exserohilum turcicum is an important pathogen of both sorghum and maize, causing sorghum leaf blight and northern corn leaf blight. This fungus also causes Northern corn leaf blight. Histor-ically, NCLB has been more common and severe in states in the eastern Corn Belt, but its incidence has increased in It is caused by Exserohilum furcicum, belongs to the class Deuteromycetes and the order Fungi imperfecti. Turcicum leaf blight (TLB) is a leaf disease caused by the fungus Exserohilum turcicum (Pass.) Knowing which leaf diseases are a potential threat is accordingly vital in ensuring optimal yields. Lipps, Ohio State University.]. However resistant plants still show some symptoms, and the threat of new races showing up lends to the need for other management practices, especially in areas where the disease is present. Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum sublineolum, and turcicum leaf blight, caused by Exserohilum turcicum, is two major foliar diseases that limit sorghum productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa. Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) is a foliar disease of corn caused by Exserohilum turcicum, the anamorph of the ascomycete Setosphaeria turcica. The disease may cause reduction in sugar accumulation in the sweet sorghum. Grain yield loss of 50% or more can occur under severe epidemics (Frederiksen, 1986). Leaf blight disease is caused by the fungus Helminthosporium turcicum Pass. There is a range of fungi that can cause leaf diseases in maize. The disease is caused by Exserohilum turcicum (Pass.) The damage to the plant is relatively localized, although diseased corn plants are more susceptible to stalk rot than are healthy plants. Semantic Scholar extracted view of "Epidemiology and Management of Turcicum leaf Blight of Maize Caused by Exserohilum turcicum (Pass.) [2] When conditions become favorable the following season, conidia are produced from the debris and dispersed by rain or wind to infect new, healthy corn plants. Deployment of resistant varieties is the most cost effective way to manage both diseases especially when integrated with appropriate agronomic practices. Powdery mildew is caused by two pathogens: Sphaerotheca fuliginea (Schlecht. For this reason the disease was formerly known as Helminthosporium-leaf blight. This disease be able causing loss of maize harvest up to 40-70%. QTLs for blight resistance have been mapped in a population derived from a cross between maize lines B73 and Ki14 (Zwonitzer et al., 2010). Leaf blight caused by Exserohilum turcicum is a widely prevalent and economically important disease of sorghum in relatively cooler and humid regions of the world. Leaf blight symptoms are characterized by the presence of long, elliptical, and necrotic lesions on the leaf lamina. coriacea. These clones, however, are mainly derived from Wickham materials and hence cannot be considered as new germplasm for widening the Hevea genetic base. & Curt.). Another leaf blight of finger millet has been reported from Uganda (Mudingotto et al., 2002). [5] Also, the number of conidia produced in an infected field increases significantly after rain due to the increase in moisture. ex Mecat). Turcicum leaf blight of maize (Zea mays L.), popularly known as Northern Corn Leaf Bight (NCLB) in the United States of America caused by Exserohilum turcicum(Pass.) B.S. Leonard and Suggs (Syn. When there is not a sufficiently long period of continuous humidity, the fungus will stop making spores and resume conidia production only when humidity level rises again. [13], In susceptible varieties of sweet corn, yields can be reduced by up to 20 percent. In temperate regions, the fungus overwinters mycelia, conidia, and chlamydospores in the infected corn debris. This is referred to as BLUP with genotypes independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.). Twenty-six-day-old plants, V4 phenological stage, were inoculated with antagonists by foliar spray. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. Shoemaker; and Drechslera turcica (Pass.) Northern Corn Leaf Blight Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) is a disease of corn caused by the fungus, Exserohilum turcicum. Destruction of weeds, volunteer, wild sorghum, and alternate hosts help to reduce primary inoculum. Some races of the fungus also attack the stalks, leaf sheaths, ear husks, shanks, ears, and cobs (Figs. Turcicum leaf blight of maize caused by the fungus Setosphaeria turcica is a serious foliar disease of maize distributed widely throughout the world and causing significant yield losses. Genotyping of the nested population with 1.6 million SNPs identified multiple candidate genes involved in plant defense phenomena (Polanda et al., 2011). The lesions found in Northern corn leaf blight are more acute if the leaves above the ear are infected during or soon after flowering of the plant. and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) infections.13,43,57 Melons with low-level CMV resistance are reportedly less prone to wilt (H. M. Munger, personal communication). Turcicum leaf blight is one of the most important fungal disease affecting photosynthesis with severe reduction in grain yield of The fungus is present in the fields where plants are grown and its spores are spread from infected plants by wind. The plants are susceptible to infection at all stages of growth. Ph.D. Thesis, Univ. Northern corn leaf blight causes large spots to form on corn leaves, which begin as gray-green areas several inches long and one-half inch wide. Eight potential biological control agents (BCAs) were evaluated in planta in order to assess their effectiveness in reducing disease severity of northern leaf blight caused by Exserohilum turcicum. Memoona Ilyas, ... Abdul Mujeeb-Kazi, in Emerging Technologies and Management of Crop Stress Tolerance, Volume 2, 2014. The major disease problems of taro are the leaf blight disease due to Phytophthora colocasiae, corm rots due to Sclerotium rolfsii and the nematode Hischmanniella miticausa, and the virus diseases complex.18,24 Not much has been achieved in the development of taro varieties that are resistant to these diseases. Turcicum leaf blight of maize is a wide spread disease in Karnataka. Seven fungicides were evaluated in vitro against Exserohilum turcicum causing leaf blight of maize The treatment mancozeb 0.25% and combination treatments of carbendazim and mancozeb i.e. Turcicum leaf blight (or northern leaf blight) occurs worldwide and particularly in areas where high humidity and moderate temperatures prevail during the growing season. The tops of infected plant may be killed and topple over within a week after infection. Epidemiology and management of turcicum leaf blight of maize caused by Exserohilum turcicum (Pass.) Biological control with endophytic fungi potentially used to Symptoms NCLB lesions are typically gray-green and elliptical or cigar-shaped (Figure 1). to Turcicum leaf blight of maize caused byExserohilum turcicum. The crop is affected by number of fungal diseases of which leaf blight or northern corn leaf blight or turcicum leaf blight is one of the important diseases affecting photosynthesis with severe reduction in grain yield to an extent of 28 to 91%. Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum sublineolum, and turcicum leaf blight, caused by Exserohilum turcicum, is two major foliar diseases that limit sorghum productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a drought tolerant food crop preferred by subsistence farmers in dry areas which experience low annual rainfall. Leonard and Suggs. Twenty-nine QTLs with multiple alleles were identified in 5000 inbred-line nested association mapping populations for resistance to northern leaf blight. Two QTLs conferring resistance to northern leaf blight were identified for this mapping population (Balint-Kurti et al., 2010). [3] These lesions may first appear as narrow, tan streaks that run parallel to the leaf veins. Leaf blight is one of the most widely distributed and at times damaging foliage pathogens of the sorghum. This pathogen has been known for its high prevalence and intensity in recent seasons in late planting of maize 10 , 21 . Turcicum leaf blight is caused by the fungi Exserohilum turcicum. Karnataka Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 23(2):372-373. In the past the anamorph (production of asexual spores called conidia) of the pathogen was named Helminthosporium turcicum. The first report of the disease was from India (Butler, 1918). As the disease progresses, the lesions grow together and create large areas of dead leaf tissue. Northern Corn Leaf Blight Purdue extension BP-84-W Purdue extension diseases of corn Northern Corn Leaf Blight Author: Kiersten Wise www.btny.purdue.edu Photos by Kiersten Wise and Greg Shaner Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), caused by the fungus Exserohilum turcicum, is an increasingly important disease in the U.S. Corn Belt. Int J Curr Microbiol Appl Sci 6: 2888-2891. After penetration through the cell wall, the fungus produces intracellular vesicle to obtain nutrients from the cell. Das, in Biotic Stress Resistance in Millets, 2016. The fungus produces light gray, straight or curved, and septate conidium singly at the tip of a conidiophore. Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), caused by the fungus Exserohilum turcicum, is one of the most frequently occurring foliar diseases of corn in Ohio and the Midwest in general, according to Extension researchers at The Ohio State University.Since the early 2000s, both the prevalence and severity of this disease have increased, but in most years plants only becomes severely diseased well … [2] Infection is inhibited by high light intensity and warm temperatures. Research supported by the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station as part of project 68-0323 and by the United States-Israel Binational The conidium has a protuberant hilum at its basal cell and germinates by a polar germ tube. In this example the selection units and the evaluation units were the same single plants, and only single phenotypic measurements were used as the criteria for selection. Fig 6. has been considered as potentially destructive disease in Karnataka. Fully developed lesions typically have a sooty appearance during humid weather, as a result of spore (conidia) formation. [7], In the United States, NCLB is a problem during the spring in southern and central Florida and during the summer months in the Midwestern states. One type is conditioned by two complementary, incompletely dominant genes, Pc-1 and Pc-2, found in MR 1.273, 274 MR 1 produces reaction type 4 in response to infection by P. cubensis.274 The second type is a partial resistance conditioned by Pc-3 found in PI 414723.68. Southern corn leaf blight, caused by Cochliobolus heterostrophus, anamorph Bipolaris maydis, causes small (0.6 by 2.5 cm), tan lesions that may be so numerous that they almost cover the entire leaf (Figs. LEAF BLIGHT EXSEROHILUM TURCICUM(PASS.) Date Published: Author(s): Andrew Kness, M.Sc. Northern corn leaf blight, caused by Exserohilum turcicum (Et), is one of the major corn diseases which can reduce grain yield and quality. [12] The disease pressure in the field and weather conditions should be monitored and evaluated beforehand to determine if fungicides are needed or not. The disease is most readily identified by large cigar-shaped lesions on the leaf with reddish or purple margins (Fig. [4] In susceptible corn hybrids, lesions are also found on the husk of ears or leaf sheaths. has been cited by the following article: Article. Race 0 incites wilting in melons not carrying any resistance genes. Because mass selection is done on single observations only, the selection units are also used as the evaluation units, and generating separate breeding materials for the purpose of evaluation is not needed.

After approximately 48 hours after infection, necrotic spots begin to form as the epidermal cells collapse. The causal agent of the onion leaf blight is the fungus Botrytis spp. The lesions cause the ears to appear old and poor quality even if they are fresh. When the infection is heavy, particularly in the early stages, the entire leaf turns brown and withers away, the plants become yellow and show premature wilting. A total of 513 clones or “genotypes” were screened for SALB resistance and other traits. JAMES D. McCREIGHT, ... REBECCA GRUMET, in, The major disease problems of taro are the, Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology. Northern leaf blight caused by Exserohilum turcicum (Pass.) Maize leaf showing elongated, spindle-shaped necrotic lesions caused by turcicum leaf blight (Setosphaeria turcica, anam. It can infect hosts, that is, maize, Johnson grass, teosinte, paspalum, and other cereals. … Agric.Sci., Dharwad, (India). FIGURE 11-62. The accuracy of mass selection, which is usually low for quantitative traits, is the square root of the narrow sense heritability of the trait of interest in the base population. Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) is a common leaf disease and occurs in all maize growing areas of the world. Resistance to one species does not preclude susceptibility to the other.5, 135 Bertrand15 described techniques for in vitro methods of isolation and culture of these pathogens. Leonard and Suggs. Spores of the fungus that causes this disease can be transported by wind long distances from infected fields. The development of this disease is strongly influenced by the resistance of varieties, cultivation systems and the When infection occurs prior to and at silking and conditions are optimum, it may cause significant economic damage. Scouting fields and monitoring local conditions is vital to control this disease. The inbred mapping (IBM) population, an advanced inter-cross RIL population, derived from a cross between Mo17 and B73 lines, was evaluated for NLB resistance. In a system with normal tillage, a one-year rotation out of corn can be effective, but a two-year rotation may be required for a reduced-tillage system. In California, it has been attributed to Pythium spp.90 and seems to be manageable through proper irrigation.87 In New York, it has been associated with bacterial, fungal (including Fusarium spp.) Leaf Diseases Caused by Fungi: Northern Corn Leaf Blight. There are two types of resistance to downy mildew caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis (Berk. There are two variants of race 1,2: 1,2y which causes yellowing, and 1,2w which causes wilting. Severe outbreaks of the disease can cause up to 30-50% yield loss in dent corn if the disease is established before tassel [1]. In view of the importance of broadening the genetic base, SALB-resistant clones of H. brasiliensis and other wild species (H. benthamiana and H. spruceana) were introduced to Malaysia in 1951–52. These start out as slightly oval, water-soaked, small spots, and may first appear on lower leaves. However, use of disease-resistant cultivar is thought to be the best option. Leonard and Suggs. Management of NCLB can be achieved primarily by using hybrids with resistance, but because resistance may not be complete or may fail, it is advantageous to utilize an integrated approach with different cropping practices and fungicides. Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) is a foliar disease of corn (maize) caused by Exserohilum turcicum, the anamorph of the ascomycete Setosphaeria turcica. Phytopathology, 64(11):1468-1470. These included H. benthamiana, H. guianensis, H. pauciflora, H. rigidifolia, H. spruceana, and H. pauciflora var. avenae. Lesions can eventually expand to a more oblong or “cigar” shape. 11-62C and 11-63). Later it was reported from Uganda, Africa (Adipala, 1980). In 1995, Malaysia conducted another expedition to collect seeds of various species of Hevea from the Amazon basin. Turcicum leaf blight on maize. The spots quickly turn to tan. With BLUP, breeding materials may be considered unrelated, in which case the BLUP values, referred to as BLUPs, for the breeding materials are based only on their own data. TABLE 20.3. At 25°C, 1 h of dew is sufficient to cause infection and at this temperature the minimal dew period for sporulation is … Assessment of Maize (Zea mays L.) Exserohium Turcicum … Yield losses as high as 70% have been attributed to Turcicum leaf blight. Ph.D. Thesis, Univ. Secondary spread of the inoculum within and between fields takes place by air-borne conidia. Suggs (Teliomorph: Setosphaeria turcica [Luttrell] Leonard and Suggs) is an old disease of sorghum and maize (Agrios 1997; Ramathani et al., 2011). Leaf blight caused by the Exserohilum turcicum is an important disease affecting the sorghum. (image by Travis Faske) Leaf blight is caused by the fungus. (D) Northern corn leaf blight caused by Cochliobolus carbonum (Bipolaris zeae) showing its much larger spots. Much work remains in transferring resistance to acceptable varieties. Penetration of maize leaves by Helminthosporium turcicum. Affected kernels are covered with a black, felty mold, and cobs may rot or, if the shank is infected early, the ear may be killed prematurely and drop. With its characteristic cigar-shaped lesions, this disease can cause significant yield loss in susceptible corn hybrids. [5] Research suggests that using fungicides to keep the upper 75% of the leaf canopy disease-free for three quarters of the grain-filling period will eliminate yield loss [11] To ensure that newly emerging leaf tissue is protected from infection, before the plants are in tassel, fungicides should be applied on the same day that significant conidial dispersal is expected to occur. Leonard and Suggs. Jalani, O. Ramli, in Encyclopedia of Applied Plant Sciences, 2003.
