The disease destroys all kernels in a head and replaces them with a cone-shaped gall or may affect only portions of a panicle. At harvest time, these galls are broken and spores contaminate the outer surface of other kernels.
What to do:
- Use of certified disease-free seed.
- Plant resistant hybrids.
