Charcoal ear rot on maize
Maize kernels showing symptoms of charcoal ear rot (Macrophomina phaseolina). At harvest kernels are pale yellow with black streaking below the pericarp, and the ear is loose and chaffy. Kernels are easily removed from the cob, and they show small, round, black, pinhead-like sclerotia on the surface.
