Anthracnose
A fungus with enlarging, oval-to-spindle shaped lesions that appear on leaves. Lesions are yellow-to-brown, with distinct borders. Leaf lesions occur mostly on the young plants, and frequently appear on the upper leaves after silking. Black streaks appear on the lower stalk late in the season, with the pith turning a dark brown color, and appearing shredded. The tops of infected plants may turn yellow or red prematurely. Also, upper or lower stalk may break over. The fungus survives in corn debris and on the seed.
