Bayer Ramps Up Its Tar Spot Research by Using a New Practice

There are at least 30 fungicides labeled for suppression or control of tar spot in corn with a FIFRA 2(ee) recommendation.

The company is artificially inoculating tar spot in select field test plots this season to study how corn responds. Researchers say the work will help them advance tar spot tolerance for DEKALB and Channel products.

"The goal has always been to provide information to agribusiness staff in an easy, straightforward manner to help them better understand their customers,” said Bushel CEO Jake Joraanstad.

“We’re eager to welcome our new class of interns and provide them with a unique, hands-on experience to learn about agriculture and what it means to be a cooperative,” said Student Recruiting Manager, Madison Kimpling.
