SUGAR BEET ROOT ROTS DURING VEGETATION PERIOD IN UKRAINE - Ecological Consequences of Increasing Crop Productivity - page 208

FIGURE 20.5 Fusarium yellows on sugar beet.

Marked dynamics of increase in Fusarium diseases such as Fusarium yellows root
rot and vascular system necrosis that reveal intensively on sugar, fodder, and table beet
(Figure 20.6).

FIGURE 20.6 Dynamics of increase in Fusarium diseases.

There are mentions in the literature that sugar beet in Holland, France, England,
and the United States is often affected with vascular system necrosis, the causative
agent of which is soil fungi Vertіcіllіum albo-artrum that previously have affected rice
and cotton only [26, 27].
Abnormal weather conditions provoke deformity of roots and dying off leaves
before the time.
