Syngenta sales representative Marc Rinke says the beet co-ops have already announced early start dates for pre-pile harvest. “Earlier start dates usually mean the anticipation of a larger crop.” Cercospora has become an annual management decision. Rinke credits Inspire XT for its activity on cercosopra and powdery mildew. Rinke recommends Sequence herbicide, which is a soil residual mixed with glyphosate for resistant weeds. “Glyphosate-tolerant waterhemp continues to move north. As we continue to see the advancement of resistance, sugarbeet production gets more difficult.”
