Objective 1: Evaluation of commercial sweet corn varieties and inbred germplasm in small plots for susceptibility to seed rot/damping-off as well as root, stalk, and crown rot. Objective 2: Evaluation of microbial (biofungicides) and chemical treatments for suppression of sweet corn seed rot/damping-off, root rot, and crown rot.Objective 3: Cooperate...
Three trials at two locations were conducted to evaluate sweet corn hybrids for performance under root rot conditions. While both sugar/se and supersweet sweet corn hybrids were evaluated, the emphasis was again on identifying supersweet hybrids with improved tolerance to root rot.
Objective 1: Evaluate commercial sweet corn varieties and inbred germplasm in small plots for susceptibility to root rot, stalk node rot, and crown rot. Objective 2: Examine the relationship between Western Spotted Cucumber Beetle reproduction and seed microbial communities.

Objective 1: Evaluate sweet corn inbred germplasm for colonization of silks by Fusarium species and subsequent seed infection/contamination.
Objective 2: Evaluate biological applications to silks and subsequent Fusarium presence in ears.
Objective 3: Evaluate seed disinfestation and location of remaining Fusarium on or in seed.
Objective 4: Examine the yield...
