Also called as Pantoea stewartii or Stewart’s wilt, is a serious bacterial disease of corn caused by the bacterium Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii also known as Erwinia stewartii. This bacterium affects plants, particularly types of maize such as sweet, flint, dent, flour, and popcorn. The disease is also known as bacterial wilt or bacterial leaf blight and has shown to be quite problematic in sweet corn. Warm winter temperatures favor the survival of flea beetle vectors and increase the risk of Stewart’s disease.
