Gray Leaf Spot Risk Summary

Risk of gray leaf spot continues to increase for most of the Corn Belt.

Next two-week risk interpretation

Conditions are moderately to highly favorable for gray leaf spot in the Corn Belt. In spots, the disease is progressing up the canopy from the lower leaves. Areas in yellow, scout susceptible hybrids to monitor disease progression. Areas in orange, consider a fungicide application on susceptible hybrids if the disease is found on the earleaf or one leaf below the earleaf. Risk is higher in irrigated fields, corn-corn situations, and fields with heavy corn residue.
