Pesticides and Methods For Treating Cercospora Leaf Spot Disease
Cercospora leaf spot (CLS), caused by Cercospora beticola, is the most widespread and destructive foliar disease in sugar beet crops, often leading to yield losses of up to 50%. Traditional control methods rely on fungicide sprays and resistant cultivars. However, fungicide-resistant fungal strains, environmental wash-off due to rain, and frequent reapplication...
