🥬🚛🌎🎙️ New Podcast Episode!
How does a plant disease in one part of the world affect the food on your grocery store shelves?
In this episode, we sit down with food distribution expert @FoodProfessor to explore the fascinating connection between plant diseases, global food distribution, and consumer prices. From supply chain resilience and food security to the economics behind grocery store shelves, we discuss how everything is connected—from the farm all the way to your fork.
Whether you're interested in agriculture, plant pathology, economics, or simply where your food comes from, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the science and logistics behind feeding the world.

Gray leaf spot of corn occurs virtually every growing season and is often more severe in corn following corn. Disease is favored by warm (80s°F), humid (>90% for 12+ hours) weather. Severity depends on hybrid susceptibility and environment.
Resistant hybrids are available. Crop rotation and tillage reduce fungus survival. Foliar fungicides are available, but are less likely to be profitable if disease risk is low.

Twas the night before tar spot, when all thru the field
Not a creature was stirring to reduce corn yield
Ears were all growing kernels with care
In hopes the combine soon would be there
The silks were nestled snug in their beds
While visions of pollen grains danced in their heads

For more information about the Sterile Insect Technique for genetic biocontrol of New World Screwworm, check out our webinar recording! @USDA_NIFA
ncipmc.org/webinar-recording…
🚨 With the recent detection of New World screwworm in a 3-week-old bovine in Zavala County, TX, USDA urges residents to contact your veterinarian right away if you see any suspicious wounds, maggots, or infestations in your animals or herd.
If you see signs of maggot infestations in live or very recently dead wild animals, especially in areas near the U.S./Mexico border, please call 866-4USDA-WS (866-487-3297) to report it to your local USDA Wildlife Services office.
