Sugarbeet
Sugar beet remains an important and profitable crop in growers’ rotations, with 95,000 ha of sugar beet being grown in the UK each year. However, growing sugar beet is not without it’s challenges. The changing climate brings with it a new raft of pests and diseases to contend with and can create difficult conditions for establishing and lifting the crop. This page shares resources and agronomic advice to help you overcome some of these challenges and grow high yielding sugar beet crops.
Disease Control
Foliar diseases continue to threaten sugar beet crops, having detrimental effects on sugar yields, so it’s become increasingly important to reduce their impact with more effective disease control. Understanding the conditions in which these diseases spread, and how to spot them early, can give you a better chance of tackling them and protecting yields.
