Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Southern corn leaf blight (SCLB) is a fungal disease of maize caused by the plant pathogen  Bipolaris maydis (also known as Cochliobolus heterostrophus in its 
teleomorph state).
The fungus is an Ascomycete and can use conidia or ascospores to infect. There are three races of B. maydis: Race O, Race C, and Race T; SCLB symptoms vary depending on the infectious pathogen's race.  Race T is infectious to corn plants with the Texas male sterile cytoplasm (cms-T cytoplasm maize) and this vulnerability was the cause of the United States SCLB epidemic of 1969-1970  For this reason, Race T is of particular interest.  While SCLB thrives in warm, damp climates, the disease can be found in many of the world's maize-growing areas.  Typical management practices include breeding for host resistance, cultural controls and fungicide use.
