Rapid Growth Syndrome

Encyclopedia Article

Rapid growth syndrome is a phenomenon where corn leaves don’t unfurl properly and the whorl becomes twisted or tightly wrapped. It usually occurs in 5th to 7th leaf corn but can also occur as late as 12th leaf corn. This is also described as buggy whipping, twisted whorls, wrapped whorls, accelerated growth syndrome, roping, and onion leafing.
