Plant Protection Products
Sugar beet growers always do their best to use only the Plant Protection Products that the crop needs. Like medecines or vaccines, crop protection products are sometimes essential to prevent further significant damage and loss, or to treat disease once it has occured. Sugar beet growers use a complex combination of common sense practices, which can be called Integrated Pest Management (IPM), to limit the use of Plant Protection Products to their needs.
To continue to practice IPM, growers still need flexibility and effective, affordable tools to protect their yields.

ITB NOTE: EXPOSURE OF POLLINATING INSECTS TO NEONICOTINOIDS BY GUTTATION ON STRAW CEREALS AFTER A SUGAR BEET TREATED BY SEED COATING - NOVEMBER 2017
At the early stage of their growth, sugar beets are protected from pest insects and notably from aphid vectors of virus yellows with neonicotinoic treatments by seed coating.
IFZ FACTSHEET ON NEONICOTINOIDS - 29 NOVEMBER 2017
Recently, the EU-commission proposed a ban of neonicotinoids in sugar beet. Growers associations and sugar industry started several activities to oppose. The following fact sheet tries to compile the current status of technical knowledge. It will be continuously carried forward in case substantial and scientifically proofed new facts are available.
