After the dry and hot period, a lot of new leaves have formed on most fields of fodder beet. This new leaf has not yet received crop protection and is therefore susceptible to infection by leaf fungi. The mold pressure is currently high.
Fodder beets can continue to grow well into the autumn and produce many extra tons of yield from now on. But for that they need a healthy leaf apparatus. For beets that you will not be harvesting soon, it is therefore advisable to check the crop now for the development of leaf fungi.
An existing infestation can no longer be sprayed away, so it is important to apply your crop protection in time. In addition, take into account the applicable safety term of the product being sprayed. Consult your crop protection adviser about the correct use of agents.
