Corn blight spotted in Missouri Published by admin on Thu, 01/07/2021 - 8:35am
Missouri corn growers should scout for an emerging crop disease, tar spot, in 2021, says University of Missouri Extension plant pathologist Kaitlyn Bissonnette.
She identified tar spot in four far northeastern Missouri counties: Scotland, Lewis and Clark in 2019 and Marion in 2020. She expects it to spread in the northern half of Missouri and then to the middle of the state.
Tar spot, caused by the fungal pathogen Phyllachora maydis, has spread to 10 states since it was first found in the U.S. in 2015. In 2018 it caused significant yield losses in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan.
