"Fusarium ear rot is an insidious disease of corn caused by the fungus Fusarium verticillioides.The fungus can infect corn seedlings and developing kernels, and grow for a time in the ear without producing disease symptoms. Once symptoms appear, the plants have a stalk rot and/or ear and kernel rot."
