Summary

Things are heating up as we enter the heart of the growing season. Corn is growing rapidly and disease is popping up in fields across the Central Corn Belt. On this week's episode, the Wyffels agronomy team is digging into everything you need to know when it comes to making that fungicide decision. They also take a closer look at tar spot and gray leaf spot - how common it is, what kind of damage it can do, and what you can do about it. Links discussed in this episode: Between the Rows® - Tar Spot Crop Protection Network - Crop Disease Forecasting Tool Iowa State University - "Tar Spot in Central Iowa Should Not be a Surprise" We want to hear from you.
