While plant diseases and insects are responsible for many injury symptoms observed in-season, there are other causes of injury that may or may not negatively impact yield.

- bronzing caused by exposure to ozone
- sunscald
- bald heads
- frost and temperature stress after planting
- frost prior to harvest
- hail
- soil compaction
- poor seed quality
