Comparison Between Goss's Wilt And Root Rot Pytthium

I was in Corn Group A for our posters we presented before Fall break. The two disease topics we covered in corn was Goss’s Wilt and Root Rot Pythium.
Impact:
Between Goss’s Wilt and Root Rot Pythium I believe the Root Rot Pythium has a much greater impact on a Corn plant. There is a much greater impact because the time of infection is at a much earlier time when the plant is just a seedling and has a slim chance of fighting off the necrotrophic disease. When Pythium attacks the seeding through the root system the bacterial pathogen leaves behind an enzyme that completely breaks down and kills cell walls. This eventually kills the entire plant in the seedling stage. So, in both Goss’s wilt and root rot Pythium both survive over winter in the
