Effect of Resistance Type on the Development of and Yield Losses Due to Northern Corn Leaf Blight

The effect of resistant type on the development of northern leaf blight (NLB), caused by Exserohilum turcicum, was studied on three dent corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids: A619 x A632, B73 x Oh545 and Mo17 x B73. Two nearly isogenic versions of each hybrid were used, one version carrying the resistance gene Ht1 and the second carrying the corresponding allele for susceptibility, ht1. Plots were inoculated at one of five different times, corresponding to growth stages (GS) 2 through 6.
