- Title
SUGAR BEET YELLOWS IN GREAT BRITAIN, 1957.

- Abstract
This article presents a study on the developments of yellows in sugar beet crops in Great Britain in 1957. In 148 fields sampled by the agricultural staff of the British Sugar Corp., an average of 2.2, 23.6, 42.5 and 56.8% of plants had yellows at the end of June, July, August and September respectively. All the plants in occasional fields were infected by the end of June and other crops turned yellow suddenly in July. The severe attacks of yellows followed the early and heavy infestation of crops by green aphids which had lived through the mild winter on weeds and brassica crops. That aphids should have introduced and spread yellows so extensively and so early in the south-east is probably a sequel to the prevalence of the disease.
