The protection against this pathogen is fundamentally based on prevention. Many methods to control corn smut have been recommended or evaluated, including crop rotation, sanitation, seed treatments, modification of fertility, and biological control. In spite of these frequently mentioned control strategies, the host resistance seems to be the only effective method to manage common smut in those areas where Ustilago maydis is prevalent.application/pdfUstilago maydissusceptibilitystem infectionfolyóiratcikkOpen Accesshttps://doi.org/10.34101/actaagrar/74/1664Acta Agraria Debreceniensis74Acta agrar.
