|---|---|
| Fodder beet, Sugar beet | Rust, Powdery mildew, Cercospora, Ramularia leaf spot |
| TECHNICAL UPDATE: In 2018/19 Cercospora resistance to Qol fungicides was found in beet crops in a small number of NZ locations. If Cercospora resistance is present in your crop, and conditions favour disease development, Escolta may not always provide control, but it will continue to control other important diseases, leading to profitable yield increases. |
