Study identifies key Rhizoctonia species affecting sugar beet, suggesting targeted control measures for better yields.
The genus Rhizoctonia comprises economically important fungi that cause diseases in a variety of plant species, including sugar beet. The species of the genus Rhizoctonia represent a heterogeneous group of soil-borne pathogens that are distributed worldwide. Numerous anastomosis groups (AG) have been described within the genus Rhizoctonia, which cause significant diseases on sugar beet and lead to considerable yield losses. In Serbia, Rhizoctoniasolani is one of the most important pathogens of sugar beet causing root rot, and the presence of several AGs, including AG-2-2 and AG-4 HGII, has been confirmed. In Serbia and worldwide, AG-2-2 is the most common and most destructive pathogen. Control of the disease is only possible if the pathogen is correctly identified and individual or combined control measures are applied.
