Then they do deep dives on tar spot, southern rust, gray leaf spot, and more.\nWhile this season may feel fairly uneventful for those monitoring crop health, Alison’s insights remind us that knowledge is power. Understanding the diseases present, even at low levels, can help farmers make informed decisions about their crop management strategies. \nLinks discussed in this episode:\nCrop Protection Network - Fungicide Efficacy for Control of Corn Foliar Diseases\nCrop Protection Network - Southern Rust Map\nCrop Protection Network - Tar Spot Map\nIowa State University Mesonet\nBetween The Rows® - Southern Rust\nBetween The Rows® - Tar Spot\nWe want to hear from you.
