Fig. 2. Effect of Fusarium treatments on four nontransgenic corn hybrids evaluated for fumonisin concentration in grain (A) and severity of Fusarium ear rot (B) at Urbana, IL and Monmouth, IL in 2000 and 2001. Primary ears in inoculated plots were injected with a spore suspension of F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum down the silk channel at R2 (blister). Lowercase letters above columns designate differences at
= 0.05 between inoculated and noninoculated plots of the same hybrid.
