According to University of Minnesota Extension Sugarbeet Pathologist Ashok Chanda, there has been less rhizoctonia pressure this season. “Growers are doing an amazing job staying on top of seed treatments and fungicide applications.” As weather conditions change, so does the disease pressure. Chanda reminds producers managing disease is a season long process. “If it does rain in a few places, you need to be on top of fungicide applications to control cercospora.”
