Diseases of maize in South and South-East Asia: problems and progress.

Disease incidence in the major maize-producing countries of South and South-East Asia (China, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam) is reviewed. The ubiquitous incidence of diseases at the preharvest stage has been an important bottleneck in increasing maize production. Major diseases in the region include 5 downy mildews, 4 foliar, 2 pre-flowering and 4 post-flowering stalk rots, and leaf and sheath blight. Information on virus diseases, nematodes and postharvest microbial problems is also given. Information on distribution of diseases is provided. Concerted efforts involving regional and national programmes sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maiz y Trigo have yielded good dividends, particularly in the case of downy mildew diseases. The development and release of cultivars resistant to downy mildew has been an important outcome of this cooperative research. The use of disease management methods other than host resistance is al

so highlighted.
