Abstract: The corn rust had been one of the major diseases to producing areas of maize in China at present. In this paper, the disease characters of corn rust, together with its damage actuality and pathogeny were summarized, and the anti-disease mechanism and resistant cultivars improvement of maize were reviewed. In addition, integrated control of corn rust was analyzed and advanced according to its occurrence and damage characters, and the fundamental measure that planting resistant cultivars to control corn rust was presented. Finally, research suggested that the damage of corn rust has been more serious. As a result, breeding of resistant cultivar of corn especially that of fresh corn should be accelerated, to provide security for control of corn rust and producing of maize.
