Farmers frequently encounter abnormal corn ears in their fields when the crop experiences a major stress, such as drought, temperature extremes, disease and insect injury, or misapplied chemicals. These abnormalities can affect yield and grain quality adversely. We’ve prepared a poster highlighting ten abnormal corn ears with distinct symptoms and causes. The purpose of the poster is to help corn growers and agricultural professionals diagnose various ear disorders.

A reduced 11 x 14 inch version of the poster is available for online at:
http://agcrops.osu.edu/corn/documents/AbnormalCornEarsPoster_000.pdf

The OSU College of Food Agric. and Env. Sci. Communications & Technology section (contact information below) has 26 x 33 inch copies of the poster available for distribution. The poster is printed on plasticized coated paper for durability. Poster cost is $10 plus shipping. Ask for “Abnormal Corn Ears” poster” ACE-1.
