The white material is dusty looking, not like cotton?

How many plants do you have? Corn isn't self pollenating.


Yes, it is dusty looking and I have 9 plants.

It seems that the leaves have stopped turning brown except for one
plant.
Also, all those leaves that have that white dusty looking material and
are broken are the third leaves for some strange reason.


A visit to a local nursery can't hurt. Take a plant with you to identify.
In the meantime look at

It would seem that the problem is powdery mildew. Ask about a fungicide
for house plants at your local nursery.
