EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by FLPA/Duncan Smith, we witness the unfortunate aftermath of Northern Leaf Blight (Exserohilum turcicum) on a maize crop in Gisborne, North Island. The once vibrant and healthy leaves now bear the scars of this fungal disease that has taken its toll on these cultivated plants. It seems like Mother Nature decided to play a mischievous trick on these farmers! As they diligently worked to cultivate their crops with hopes of bountiful harvests, little did they know that Exserohilum turcicum had other plans. This pesky fungus has left its mark in the form of damaging lesions all over the corn's leaves. But fear not! Despite this setback, our resilient farmers will surely find ways to combat this blight and nurse their crops back to health. After all, agriculture is no stranger to challenges; it's an ever-evolving dance between humans and nature. So let us marvel at this snapshot from Gisborne - a testament to both the beauty and unpredictability found within our agricultural landscapes. And as we appreciate the intricate balance between cultivation and disease control showcased here, may it serve as a reminder that even when faced with setbacks like leaf blights or any other obstacles life throws at us – perseverance always prevails!
