Seed Treatments, In-Furrow Fungicides, and In-Furrow Biocontrol Agents in Sugar Beet for the Control of Rhizoctonia Crown and Root Rot in Northwest Minnesota, 2024

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

Abstract

Seedling damping-off and root and crown rot, caused by Rhizoctonia solani, are the most common root diseases of sugar beet in Minnesota and eastern North Dakota. Early season infection leads to poor stands, while mid-to-late season infection results in root rot with dark brown to black lesions that are accompanied by chlorotic and wilting foliage. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of seed treatments, in-furrow fungicides, and biocontrol agents for managing Rhizoctonia diseases. The trial was conducted in 2024 in Crookston, MN, on a moderately susceptible sugar beet variety (Beta vulgaris ‘Crystal 793RR’). Results from this trial will assist sugar beet growers in making informed decisions about managing this disease.
