BBRO and Sencrop develop indicator for Cercospora disease risk
Cercospora is a fungal disease of sugar beet, that can spread if temperature and humidity are both high. If there is severe disease pressure, lesions on the leaves coalesce and the entire leaf can be lost.
BBRO is working with Sencrop, developers of connected weatherstations, to create an agronomic indication for Cercospora that will provide early alert of disease risk.
