More information on tar spot conditions: Conditions favorable to tar spot development are milder, wet weather. Temperatures between 63-75F are ideal, and the fungus needs moisture to propagate. Morning dews and rain showers will aid in the spores spreading between leaves and plants. High temperatures, drought conditions, and humidity over 90% will inhibit disease propagation.
