- Title
SUGAR BEET YELLOWS IN GREAT BRITAIN, 1956.
- Authors
Hull, R.
- Abstract
This article deals with a study conducted by British Sugar Corp. regarding the incidence of yellows in sugar beet crops in Great Britain during 1956. Although as many plants as usual had yellows at the end of June, the number increased slowly throughout the summer. Most of the fields heavily infected at the end of August were near the coast of Suffolk and Essex. The slow spread of yellows was the result of the wet, stormy summer restricting the movement and development of aphids. Of 137 sugar beet steckling beds examined in October only 2 had more than 1 per cent of plants with yellows and these were destroyed.
