Rotating DMI Fungicides Within Spray Programs to Manage Cercospora Leaf Spot in Sugar Beet in Northwest Minnesota, 2024

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Cercospora leaf spot (CLS), caused by Cercospora beticola, is among the most devastating foliar diseases of sugar beet worldwide. Symptoms include small, circular, tan to brown spots that coalesce into large necrotic lesions when infection is severe, which leads to reduced plant vigor and sucrose accumulation in the roots. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of fungicide spray programs with emphasis on the rotation of systemic fungicides for management of CLS. The trial was conducted in 2024 in Crookston, MN, on a moderately susceptible sugar beet variety (Beta vulgaris ‘Crystal 912RR’). Results from this trial will help sugar beet growers in developing effective fungicide spray programs for managing this disease.
