Understand the three main origins of fungi in corn, their impacts on crop establishment, and why precision in seed treatment<\/a> With Momesso technology, protection is elevated from the very first grain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why talk about fungi before sowing?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Anyone who produces corn knows that the game starts long before emergence. Even with the correct planting window and adequate moisture, failures, weak seedlings, and rots can appear. In most cases, the origin lies in three silent fronts that carry the inoculum to the field: the seed itself, the soil, and crop residues. Anticipating this risk can change the outcome of the harvest.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what are the three most frequent sources of contamination?<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the seed itself<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some pathogens can come with the batch, such as Fusarium and Acremonium, causing seedling weakening, increased susceptibility to stem and ear rot, and dissemination of inoculum to new areas without the producer realizing it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only<\/span><\/h3>\n

The furrow environment is challenging, especially under variations in temperature and humidity. Thus, soilborne pathogens such as Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, and Stenocarpella are associated with:<\/span><\/p>\n
