The article presents the results of the evaluation of local corn varieties for resistance to ear rot fusariosis. The correlation of the degree of fusarium attack with the reduction of humidity was determined. The results of biometric studies of the main parameters of the varieties' productivity are presented, and their relationship with the period of ear ripening was determined. The infestation of ears with fusarium was identified by visually distinguishable symptoms of the disease during harvesting (prevalence, %). As a result of the studies, a classification of the collection samples was carried out according to susceptibility to the disease, and the variety.
