PESTS & DISEASES

The main focus of the study group Pests & Diseases is the crop protection of sugar beet, with the aim to improve productivity and to minimise an environmental impact. This group covers all areas of phytopathology, virology, zoology and germplasm and pathogen resistance. This includes the development of common methodologies and the evaluation of new products, application techniques and control strategies in the entire rotation.

NEXT MEETING

The next meeting of the study group Pests & Diseases will be held 15-16 November 2023 at Einbeck in Germany. 

Virus Yellows Monograph

A synopsis of the research carried out on beet yellowing viruses and their vectors in Europe was edited by the IIRB in 1988. A copy of the document can be made available on demand.
