Abstract

Downy mildew (DM) diseases of corn and sorghum in Venezuela were called to the attention of farmers and plant pathologists only 2 years ago in 1974. Some diseased plants were observed in 1973 although its etiology was uncertain. In effect, symptoms in corn (deformed or phyllodied tassels, elongated ear shoots and yellow stripped leaves) suggested to the first observers that the disease was “crazy top” (Punta loca). At that time, as the plants were old, no conidiospores were observed and occasionally oospore like bodies (probably oogonial structures) were found.
