Comparison of methods for inoculation of ears and stalks of maize with Fusarium moniliforme
Over four plantings from 1986 to 1988, several ear- and stalk-inoculation methods for Fusarium moniliforme were compared on maize (Zea mays). Significant differences were observed among methods in their effect on disease incidence and severity. For ear inoculations, shooting a BB pellet covered with inoculum into the ear or using a nail punch were the most effective methods. For stalk inoculations, shooting a BB pellet into the stem or the drill/toothpick method were the most effective. Ear and stalk rot severities were positively correlated with the diameter of the inoculation tool.
