#tarspot ID thread: With the confirmation of tar spot (last yr) here in Ontario, scouting and ID is important. It can blow in and over winter in ON. It is a raised black lesion that looks like a droplets of tar flicked on the leaf. Tassel time is a good time to start scouting.

Better standability, better harvestability! By managing stressors like corn disease, you’re not only keeping your crop healthy, but also making it easier to harvest. Don’t let disease and plant stress knock down your hard work. 💪🌽 #ontag #harvest24

There's plenty of uneven and late-planted #corn across #ontag. What's the impact on fungicide strategies? Check out my chat with @Ken_Currah @BASFAgSolutions on Corn School @realagriculture tinyurl.com/4wpzh8dj

Wheat will start to turn rapidly in this heat. Now is a good time to scout for FHB. We are at a higher risk based on the environmental conditions at flowering but we can manage it. Good news - T3 fungicides did a good job stopping the spread of Stripe Rust

This is a great tool to use for any herbicide application this time of year. Right now the tool is forecasting a high potential inversion for Guelph area on Friday morning. Be sure to plan ahead. Best to spray when weeds are small and actively growing #ontag
Growing dicamba tolerant soybeans? 🌱Plan your #Engenia herbicide application confidently. Don't spray when temperature inversions exist. Consult the Engenia Spray Tool before you head to the sprayer. engeniaspraytool.ca #EastCdnAg

With stripe rust confirmed in multiple counties across #ontag, it is important to scout and know the susceptibility of your varieties. @sophie_vdb_ shows us how to properly identify it
