Since spreading from the US to Ontario (where it was first found in 2020), Tar Spot is becoming more prevalent. In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at the corn disease – what to look out for, management tips, and what breeders are doing to combat it. First, Scott Heuchelin joins Andrew from Iowa.

Next, John Seliga, Pioneer Area Agronomist for Southwestern Ontario gives us a local perspective on what you can do to ensure your corn stays protected from the new disease.
