## Resource

August is shaping up to be a game of disease whack-a-mole. Recent heat and rain in the Central Corn Belt have fueled Southern Rust development, but the upcoming cool-down looks ideal for tar spot. Are you prepared to manage it all? On this week's podcast, Wyffels Agronomy Managers Eric Wilson and Jared Goplen talk about late summer disease threats, and touch on the impact of recent storms. Now’s the perfect time to scout for disease and assess fungicide needs. Links discussed in this episode: Crop Protection Network - Fungicide Efficacy Between the Rows® - Southern Rust Between the Rows® - Tar Spot Between the Rows® - Damage from Summer Storms We want to hear from you.
