Time to scout - tar spot is starting @ very low levels including some eastern counties n Nebraska (@ least Saunders & Pierce) & Doniphan County KS. Indiana results show fungicides, if needed, were most effective applied @ VT-R2, not now. cropprotectionnetwork.org/maps/tar-spot-…

If you are out scouting for tar spot this spring, look for white mold remaining from last year's beans. This time of year it will look like black pebbles on the surface, waiting to infect next year's beans.

Hearing about really high infestation rates of corn earworm in the first couple plantings of sweet corn. Check your ears and make a plan for additional successions! I don't recommend using pyrethroids alone anymore in Iowa.
