Summary Southern leaf blight (SLB), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus, is a major foliar disease of maize (Zea mays) world‐wide. A genome‐wide association study was performed to dissect the genetic basis of SLB resistance in maize. Functional validation was performed using mutant and transgenic analyses.

Foliar Sprays to Control Worms in Soybeans, 1995 [PDF]
Abstract Soybeans were drill planted on 15 Jun in a commercial field near Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of a 50 ft long by 5 ft wide row, bordered on each side by 1 ft of bare ground. Treatments were replicated 4 times in a RCB design. Treatments were applied with a backpack sprayer using 3 nozzles/row and delivering 18 gpa at 40 psi.
