The sugarbeet fields are rapidly closing the rows which coincides with the timing for cercospora control. Vive Crop Protection Red River Valley Sales Manager Vicki Dekkers says there are fungicide options available to the grower. One of them is AZterknot and the other one is Phobos FC,” said Dekkers. “AZterknot delivers a boost of plant health plus Rhizoctonia control as a full-year application and sugarbeets are better protected from diseases and environmental stress with it. Phobos combines Vive’s Allosperse delivery technology and propiconazole and that’s the differential that gives better protection against Cercospora leaf spot.” AZterknot can be used in the fungicide rotation any time during the growing season.
