Corn is at 1/4 milk just starting to dent. That’s what I’m trying to decide if it’s worth going after it? Stalk health is pretty good at this point. But I know I still probably have some time to add depth. I had the DSM and their agronomist out to look at it and they claimed it was mostly common rust with some tar spot. I think I am going to get a second opinion.
If it is tar spot I think it is probably hurting it but the ears look pretty good and seem dense. Is it taking 5 or 6 bushel or 10-15 bushel because I think I’m going to have to gain 5 bushel to pay to spray it again.
I’ve seen tar spot at it’s worst. The genetics of the hybrid are the first defense, second is weather conditions, I’d give treatment a third. With some genetics once the tar spot hits, it’s game over in less than a week. Grease up the combine if that hybrid falls into that category.

Tar spot or rust or both?
