Es causado por un hongo carbón del maíz (Ustilago maydis) . Propio de suelos arcillosos con mucha humedad. Fungicida captan + carboxin preventivo. No sembrar en altas densidades. Para permitir que entre aire limpio al cultivo

Ustilago maidis. En mi país se come, y llega a alcanzar mejor precio que el maiz. 1 kilo ha llegado a valer mas de Cinco dolares. Aquí ha visto reducida su aparición, por el uso de Híbridos mejorados.

Inclusive, en la región donde yo vivo, se inocula al maiz para obtenerlo y se usan variedades sensibles ya que no en todos los maices aparece.
