<< Smut on corn.....its my understanding that smut fungus is mostly worsened
 by variety suceptibility.   What varieties are you growing?  I've found the
 early season varieties that are short day and su types are most suceptible.
   Once you start growing longer day corn with Se and Sh2 genotypes, I never
 see any smut at all.   Smut is also a factor of weather, and if it is real
 bad you can use some preventative fungicides, but I've never had it that
 bad.   >>
 
    If you have any hispanic population in your area, you have a ready market
for corn smut. It's considered a delicacy.
