Evaluating Corn Hybrids for Tar Spot Tolerance

As corn fields mature and farmers get closer to harvest, some fields that look ready to harvest may actually be showing signs of tar spot infestation. Pioneer Field Agronomist Ryan Bates explains that growers may mistake mature fields for fields infested with tar spot, and that a corn plant ready for harvest might be dying from infestation. Growers in areas that received a lot of rainfall should be especially mindful of tar spot and check fields closely before harvest. Fields with larger tar spot infestation should be harvested earlier rather than later.
