Description and Symptoms
Fusarium ear and kernel rot is the most common ear disease, caused by several fungi in the genus Fusarium. Symptoms are a white to pink or salmon-colored, cottony mold that occurs on single or multiple kernels scattered or clustered on the ear. Decay often begins with insect-damaged kernels. Infected kernels are frequently tan or brown, or have white streaks.
