Abstract
Sunflower crops grown in Nebraska are susceptible to diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and nematodes, but the most economically damaging is head rot, caused by the fungal pathogen Rhizopus. This 2007 NebGuides discusses the pathogen and disease history, symptoms, cycle and damage, and management of this disease.
