Identification of Sweet Corn Hybrids Resistant to Root/Stalk Rot

Funding was used to establish, evaluate, and analyze data from sweet corn field plots established on the Jim Belden farm near Stayton. Twenty hybrids with se or su endosperm were evaluated for resistance to root/crown rot. Ears were also evaluated for processing quality.

Objectives:

  • Characterize su and se sweet corn hybrids for reaction to root/crown rot.
