To get the maximal yield out of your crop, your sugarbeet seed needs to be treated with care, because optimal protection of your crop is of the highest priority. One of the biggest threats to your sugarbeet fields are pests and diseases.
Nematodes
White beet cyst-nematode Heterodera schachtii is a white worm approximately 1 mm in length that can move through soil. It is capable of fixing itself onto the root of the sugarbeet plant and feeding on the contents of its cells. This sometimes causes the proliferation of root hair to the detriment of the taproot.
