I know, we’ve seen Tar Spot early and often this year in many corn belt states! Southern rust is expanding in recent days to many counties in multiple states! We have fungicide to help reduce yield loss from both Tar Spot and southern rust! But Bacterial Leaf Streak is a virus that fungicide does not control!
See video below in a field I scouted using SkyScout last week! Genetic tolerance is the best defense against BLS!

Bacterial Leaf Streak could be the disease causing more yield loss this year!
