Pioneer® Breeding: Goss's Wilt and IDC Trait Tolerance Innovation
Channel: Pioneer Seeds United States
Date: 2022-08-16

Goss's wilt is not a new disease. It's been causing significant yield damage across Colorado and Nebraska since 1969. In recent years Goss's wilt has been moving eastward across the Corn Belt. It has reached Indiana and spread north to the Canadian border. Kevin Sinner, Pioneer Field Agronomist, explains how the disease causes significant leaf loss, hurts stalk quality and reduces yield. To combat the disease, select a hybrid with a high level of Goss's wilt resistance, especially if the field has a history of infection. Pioneer has conducted decades of research and has been breeding for Goss's wilt resistance in the western Corn Belt.
