Abstract
Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) incited by the fungus Exserohilum turcicum is a ubiquitous foliar disease of corn (maize), the anamorph of the ascomycete Setosphaeriais a foliar disease that significantly limits maize production and productivity in world. Plant genetic resistant to infection by the pathogen is a safe, economical and eco-friendly disease management. The purpose of this research review article to find out Exserohilum turcicum is a fungus that causes northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) and has deleterious effects on maize production globally. The objective of this research article review was to assess the severity of NCLB disease on the growth and yield of various maize genotypes in different maize growing areas. In all tested trials those hybrids could be considered as potential sources of resistance or tolerance to NCLB for further validation for plant breeders.
