Hi, I am relatively new to Daves Garden, and have been posting on the self contained garden forum. I started my first veggie garden in a long time. I am in South Florida. I planted "Bandit" sweet corn on September 29. I interplanted Kentucky Wonder pole beans October 4th when the corn was about 4 inches high. I think my corn has corn blight, but am not positive.

Does anyone have a control, organic preferable, that they recommend? I have posted this on the organic gardening forum as well

I am including a picture of the corn leaf with symptoms when it first appeared last week. It has been hot and humid here-- 70's F at night.

Hopefully someone here will know the answer, but if not you might try posting in either the Beginner Vegetables forum or the Vegetable Gardening forum (I don't hang out on those forums so I don't know which one would be better to get you an answer--the difference between them is Beginner veggies is open to everyone and Veggie Gardening is subscribers only...but you'll probably get your question answered either place)

Thanks so much. I confuse the two apparently, for I thought I was posting in the newbie veggie garden section. Blush.
