FMC Technical Service Manager Madison Wozniak describes tar spot as a disease that will overwinter in the soil. “You’re going to see it pop up in your crops as long as the environmental conditions are right and it has a host.” That’s where Xyway comes in. It is a fungicide that goes on with the planter. “It’s extremely persistent in the soil and mobile throughout the plant, all the way through the reproductive stages. With Xyway you’ll see control of things like gray leaf spot, northern corn leaf blight and common rust.”
