Symptoms of Rapid Growth Syndrome in Corn

Rapid growth syndrome occurs when corn leaves fail to unfurl properly and the whorl becomes tightly wrapped and twisted. It is generally associated with an abrupt transition from cool temperatures to warmer conditions, resulting in a sharp acceleration in plant growth rate. Pioneer Field Agronomist Matt Montgomery discusses symptoms growers should keep an eye on and how they can prevent it in future growing seasons.

I’m a horticulturist in Rome, Ga. Please read this.
2021 and 2022 in spring the days were 75F but 2 nights got to 80F
ALL vegetables stopped growing. Tomatoes, corn, okra, squashes, everything just stopped. Did not die did not grow. Just stood still.
Immature fruit rotted on the plants. You wouldn’t notice for a few weeks but I knew what the warm nights would do.
The county farmers market suffered as well but they would not talk with me…(u know …age old horticulturist vs farmers crap)
In town worse I think from micro climate heat sink.
Past 2 years ok sort of…
If not familiar look up Plant DIF…old Hort technique to control floral crops before hormones
My name is Jimmy Greer and I stand by my observations
Good luck
