ALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24.1W3 Inspect Fields For Disease Now; It May Affect Next Year's Crops toy Brian Sager McHenry County producers should be scouting now to determine what diseases may be present in their corn and soybean fileds. This information can be important what making decisions for next year's cropping season. Some of the diseases which area growers may currently find in their corn fields include: southern corn leaf blight, rust, Stewart's leaf blight, Goss's bacterial wilt and rots. Septoria brown spot may be present in area soybean fields. Southern corn leaf blight and rust have been spreading rapidly in southern Illinois, particularly in late-planted fields in which many growers used earlier season hybrids with no resistance to the diseases. A build-up of disease inoculum over the past several years has also contributed to an increased in­ festation. Northern Illinois growers can expect to see some limited evidence of southern corn leaf blight later in the season as spores can be blown in on winds from the south. .Due to earlier planting dates and the time required for fungus to arrive, the disease should have limited (*ff6Ct Stewart's leaf blight and Goss's bacterial wilt are diseased which local producers should be more concerned about. While both diseases lode similar, with long, wavy streaks on the leaves, Cross's bacterial wilt has black specks on the edges of the streaks. The disease was first discovered hi northern Illinois a few years ago and has now been identified in several neigh­ boring counties. It is' a potentially serious disease. Some growers have realized yield losses of SO percent as a result of infestations of Goss's bacterial wilt. If the disease had been spotted in previous years, these severe losses could have been avoided by the planting of resistant hybrids. Ear and kernel rots are caused by a number of fungi commonly active during periods of moist weather conditions. These fungi overwinter in crop residues in or on the soil, or stored in grain. Continuous corn production tends to promote these disease problems. In addition, ears that have been damaged by birds and insects or ears touching the ground, due to lodging, are more susceptible to rot. Long periods of dry or cloudy, wet weather during grain filling, especially in areas where there was good early growth building in high yield potential, tend to promote the development of stalk rotyPlants that try to fill all the grain which has Enjoy All American Steaks & Hamburgers This Labor Day!

This is whenstalk rot problems actually set in. Growers can reduce rot problems in the future by using resistant varieties. Combining these varieties with balanced soil fertility, insect control an timely harvesting and grain storage at the proper moisture level can result in good control od these diseases. The fungus-caused Septoria brown spot has become a major problem in some soybean fields this year. Brown spot can be especially damaging in fields where soybeans are grown continuously. Microscopic to larger lesions appear on both upper and lower leaf surfaces and progressively infect lower to upper leaves. Late in the growing season these infested leaves turn rusty-brown in color and drop prematurely. Brown lesions of irregular size and shape may also form on the stem, branches, petioles and pods. To control the disease, producers should destroy crop residues, plant pathogen-free seed and rotate crops. Unfortunately, fungicide seed treatments have not been successful and resistant varieties are currently not available. Q. How long does orthodontic treatment take? A. Treatment time varies depending on the severity of one's problem. Typically, it may take anywhere from 12-to-30 months. r ̂ ^ v Parks Share Beautificatipn Funds Fifty-three state parks, recreation areas, historic sites and con­ servation areas are sharing in a $1.2 million federal allocation available under the U.S. Small Business dst 113/4 Benfon S txjltel s Woodstock I .60098 Administration's _new.
