“Unfortunately, slow dry-down coupled with delayed harvest, late-season rainfall, and/or high humidity, and warmer-than-usual late fall are responsible. Unlike the leaf diseases that you can see just by walking plots, ear diseases may go undetected, unless you peel back husks and check,” Paul said. “The fungus usually gets in during silking, then grows and produces vomitoxin as the grain develops. Weather conditions during grain-fill and that pre-harvest window determines how bad it gets. I have heard as much as 5 to 10 parts per million in the odd f
