Protect Your Corn!
Tar spot is a newer foliar corn disease in the U.S, first appearing in Illinois and Indiana back in 2015, and has now spread to 14 states and southern Ontario. This disease is caused by the fungal pathogen Phyllachora maydis, and can cause poor stalk quality and substantial yield losses. Foliar fungicides are one of the tools growers can use to combat this disease. Affiance® and Domark® are both viable options to reduce tar spot symptoms and help protect your yield.
