Other Disease Concerns:
Early blight has advanced in some fields over the past week, but generally the severity of this disease remains low. Fields should be scouted regularly for early blight. Remember that preventative fungicide applications and reducing stress on the crop (when possible) are the best practices for managing early blight.
