Abstract
AbstractTar spot fungus is a new reason to stay on your corn‐scouting toes, especially if you’re in the central Corn Belt. It was first found in northern Illinois and Indiana in 2015 before spreading to 12 other states and one Canadian province. Corn yield losses range from 20 to 60 bu/ac, and tar spot can also trigger complications such as lodging. The article will tell you what to look for as well as provide prevention and management tips. Information herein comes from members of The Crop Protection Network, a collaboration of 35 U.S. and Canadian plant pathologists.
