Pod and stem blight of

By D. H. SCOTT I Botany And Plant Pathology Purdue I nixersity When wet weather delays normal "soybean harvest, a fungus disease, pod and stem blight (also called phomopsis blight), frequently occurs When the normal harvest is delayed by warm, as well as wet weather, the disease may become severe. That was the case in some areas of the state this year. Severely infected seed are shriveled, flattened, frequently cracked and moldy. Grain grade may be reduced The effect of this disease is the fungus is seedborne. which leads to reduced germination or the development of a seedling blight Even healthy appearing seed may harbor the fungus on or within the seed coat and be affected in the seedling stage. We have had reports of warm germination tests as low as 50 percent from a few seed lots this fall During seed germination. affected seeds may not ger minate or as they germinate the Holiday greenery Most evergreens except pines and spruce can .be trimmed now for a fresh supply of holiday greenery

Joe Theismann to speak at 1987 American Pork Congress

Former Washington Redskins’ football quarterback, Joe Theismann, will be a featured speaker at the 1987 American Pork Congress on March 3-5 in Indianapolis. Theismann is scheduled to speak at a general session on Thursday, Mar. 5. Other speakers for the three-day event will be named shortly. The American Pork Congress is the US. pork industry’s major trade show and event of the year. It annually attracts 7,000 to 15,000 persons, primarily pork producers and others associated in some way with the pork industry. The centerpiece of the three-day event is a giant trade show, featuring hundreds of exhibits of all the latest products and services available to producers to make their hog operations more efficient. Theismann became a Washington Redskin in 1974. In 1979, he became the team’s starting quarterback. In addition to leading the Redskins to victory in Super Bowl XVII, Theismann was selected as the starting quarterback for the Pro Bowl. The following year he led the Redskins back to Super Bowl XVIII and was again selected the starting quarterback for the Pro Bowl. Despite the Redskins' Super Bowl loss to the Los Angeles Raiders in 1983, Theismann was chosen the most valuable player of the Pro Bowl and the National Football League, as well. Theismann is as comfortable nowadays in a business suit as he was in the familiar Number 7’’

several citizens regarding the policy of using low watt street lights in Syracuse and the practice of extinguishing street lights at mid-night a number of worth while suggestions have been offered. Ralph Thornburg, expressed the view that use of brighter lights in show windows and burning of street signs will do much to improve the appearance of the town at night. This proposal is received with favorable comment. and is regarded as a step toward better street lighting, until such time as the Town Board can increase its street lighting budget Boy Scout Troop No 28 of Syracuse was entertained Mon day night in their new troop head-

fungus grows rapidly into the developing seedling producing a damping-off or the development of low-vigor seedlings. The pod and stem blight fungus commonly occurs throughout the state and occurs to some degree each year It survives the winter as dormant mycelium m the seed or crop debris During the growing season, the fungus produces large numbers of spores that are splashed or blown about. Pods may become infected early, but the disease does not develop into the seed until much later in the season. With timely harvest, the fungus usually does not have the opportunity to develop into the seed. Control: 1) Plant high quality, certified seed germinating more than 85 percent in a warm germination test and over 70 percent in a cold germination test. In a warm germination test, lightly infected seeds may germinate normally, while the same seeds in a cold germination test will tend to germinate poorly or abnormally. 2> Plant seed that has been thoroughly cleaned. The pod and stem blight fungus commonly colonizes the pieces of soybean stems, pods and other debris that accompanies non-cleaned seed. 3) Use protectant seed treatment fungicides such as captan.

burgundy and gold Redskin uniform just a few years ago. He is president of a corporation that owns restaurants bearing his name and, in addition to endorsement for various products, he has extensive real estate investments. He is also a skilled racing driver, as his movie role with Burt Reynolds in “Cannonball Run ll’’ will attest. Theismann is in great demand as a motivational speaker. “To attain excellence,” he says, “you must be motivated.” He also lists self-confidence as an important ingredient for success. “The one thing that can never be taken away from you is self-confidence, a belief in you, that you are the absolute best,” Theismann says. “You must also maintain a competitive edge. You have to want to win,” the former Redskins’ quarterback added. “Pork producers want to win and are right in the thick of things, fighting to maintain that competitive edge. That’s why I’m looking forward to attending Pork Congress and meeting some of them,” Theismann said. Theismann has also dedicated part of his time to helping others. He is actively involved in the Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and with the Special Olympics. He’s also a member of the board of directors of the “Get High on Yourself” Foundation, a program that provides children with an alternative to drugs. Congress is an annual presentation of the National Pork Producers Council.

thiram, carboxin or thiabendazole.. Carbonix and thiabendazole are systemic fungicides and under certain disease condi tions may give better control than the protectant fungicides captan and thiram. Treating seed with a fungicide will generally increase germination 10 to 20 percent above that of non-treated seed where the lower germination is due to the pod and stem blight disease. 4) Maintain good fertility, as seed infection increases are the deficiency of potash increases. 5) Rotate soybeans with one or two years of corn, sorghum, small grains or forages whenever feasible. Where soybeans must follow soybeans and pod and stem blight was present the previous growing season, bury the residue by moldboard plowing where erosion is not a significant problem. 6) The use of certain foliar fungicides at R-3 and/or R-6 stages of growth may be efficacious in certain seedproduction fields. 7) Harvest when soybeans are first mature.
