Both southern rust and tar spot corn leaf samples have been confirmed by the Purdue PPDL today. Please continue to keep scouting as both diseases continue to be found. (reminder we need the actual leaf to confirm) @PurdueCorn @PurdueExtension
"Tassel wrap" showing up in WC Indiana (photos taken July 10), joining the party seen across much of the Midwest. Seems linked to hybrid, planting date, and pre-symptom temp swings. Potential pollination issues also observed ~10 days after symptoms. @PurdueAgronomy @PurdueAg
