Epidemics of Northern Leaf Blight (Exserohilum turcicum) as Influenced by Epidemiological Drivers and Agronomic Factors in the Major Maize-Growing Agro-Ecologies of Ethiopia
Purpose: Northern Leaf Blight (NLB), caused by Exserohilum turcicum, is a major constraint to maize production in Ethiopia. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological drivers and spatial patterns of NLB across major maize-growing regions to inform integrated management strategies. Methods: A field survey was c...
