Sugar Beet Production Under Changing Climate: Opportunities and Challenges
(Springer Nature, 2022-08-22)
Sugar has formed an essential part of human diets for a long time and is an important raw material for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. It is a common name for sucrose and can be extracted from two field ...
Influence of Elevated Temperatures on Resistance Against Phoma Stem Canker in Oilseed Rape
(2022-03-02)
Cultivar resistance is an important tool in controlling pathogen-related diseases in agricultural crops. As temperatures increase due to global warming, temperatureresilient disease resistance will play an important role ...
Trends of pesticide residues in foods imported to the United Kingdom from 2000 to 2020
(2022-03)
A total of 33,911 samples with determined pesticide residues were collated and analysed in the UK monitoring programme to determine trends in pesticide residue levels in imported foods during the period of 2000–2020. 17,027 ...
QTL mapping for resistance against Pyrenopeziza brassicae derived from a Brassica napus secondary gene pool
(2022-02-04)
Use of host resistance is the most economical and environmentally safe way to control light leaf spot disease of oilseed rape (Brassica napus). The causal organism of light leaf spot, Pyrenopeziza brassicae, is one of the ...
Control of crop diseases through Integrated Crop Management to deliver climate-smart farming systems for low and high input crop production
(2022-01)
Abstract: Crop diseases affect crop yield and quality and cause significant losses of total food production worldwide. With the ever‐increasing world population and decreasing land and water resources, there is a need not ...
Effects of cultivar resistance and fungicide application on stem canker of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) and potential interseasonal transmission of Leptosphaeria spp. inoculum
(2021-12)
Phoma stem canker is a damaging disease of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) that causesannual yield losses to UK oilseed rape growers worth approximately £100 million,despite the use of fungicides. In the UK, oilseed rape is ...
Biodiversity of Pathogenic and Toxigenic Seed-Borne Mycoflora of Wheat in Egypt and Their Correlations with Weather Variables
(2021-10-11)
Simple Summary: Pathogenic fungi cause yield and quality losses and threaten food security. In this study, 198 samples of wheat grains, representing 20 Egyptian wheat cultivars, were collected from 25 wheat-growing ...
Interactions in the Brassica napus-Pyrenopeziza brassicae pathosystem and sources of resistance to P. brassicae (light leaf spot)
(2021-08-24)
Pyrenopeziza brassicae, cause of light leaf spot (LLS), is an important pathogen of oilseed rape and vegetable brassicas and has a wide geographic distribution. Exploitation of host resistance remains the most sustainable ...
The Virus Yellows Epidemic in Sugar Beet in the UK in 2020 and the Adverse Effect of the EU Ban on Neonicotinoids on Sugar Beet Production
(2021-04-01)
It is fervently to be hoped that the decision to continue the ban on neonicotinoids in the UK will not be detrimental to the long-term future of the sugar beet industry here. If yields of sugar beet suffer the same fate ...
