Abstract
- Tar spot has spread across much of the Corn Belt, and while it arrived too late in 2022 to have a major impact for most farmers, farmers know its spores can overwinter in corn residue. "If a farmer uses a chopping corn head, rotary mower, or vertical tillage to help manage tar spot residue, he or she should make sure to follow that up in the spring with row cleaners to try to get as uniform environment for that seed as possible.
