- Title
SUGAR BEET YELLOWS IN GREAT BRITAIN, 1961.

- Abstract
This article reports on the incidence of sugar beet yellows in Great Britain in 1961. Green aphids were prevalent on beet in May and increased rapidly, plants with yellows were common in crops in early June. Cold east winds in May and June restricted the increase and spread of aphids. In all areas, growers controlled the aphids with sprays of systemic insecticide, thus delaying the incidence of yellows which became widespread, however, by the autumn. The spring weather which favored aphids also favored the sugar beet, many crops covered the ground with foliage by midsummer.
