Tar spot on a corn leaf.

Southern rust on a corn leaf.

Graph showing probability of recovering the cost of a fungicide at various application costs and corn prices.

RESEARCH: 400+ corn foliar fungicide data points from the U.S. & Ontario for applications at V6, VT & a 2-pass program at V6+VT.

RESULT: A single DMI+QoI fungicide at VT was the best chance for a positive ROI.

Dead spots on a corn leaf. This was caused by a fungal disease known as northern corn leaf blight.

Multiple options are available to minimize northern corn leaf blight. One of the most effective is planting less-susceptible hybrids.
