Wisconsin Soybean and Corn Disease Update

Let’s take a look at what has happened so far this season and what to keep an eye out for over the next month or so.

Two more counties added in Wisconsin just today. Getting pretty late to spray for tar spot, but scout and keep an eye on things especially if harvesting for silage! https://corn.ipmpipe.org/tarspot/
