Abstract

Cercospora leaf spot disease (CLS), caused by Cercospora beticola Sacc., considered one of the most damaging foliar diseases, attacks sugar beet causing significant loss in the final yield. The direct impact of CLS on sugar beet yield and yield components was investigated in the field trials conducted in Sakha, Kafr El-Sheikh governorate in 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 seasons. Pleno cultivar was cultivated under natural infection and disease severity was controlled by Eminent fungicide (Tetraconazole 12.5%, 1ml/L). Leaf weight (LW), root weight (RW), total soluble sugar (TSS) and sucrose % (S) were measured at the harvest time and the gross sugar (GS) was estimated then collected data were statistically analyzed. All parameters of the yield components were significantly affected due to CLS infection. Actual losses in the LW, RW, TSS and S reached 82.9%, 55.1%, 34.8% & 40.3% in the first season and 69.3%, 46%, 29.1% & 33.6% in the second season respectively. Additionally, monetary return (Egyptian Pound) per feddan (4200 m2) was decreased due to infection by CLS disease. The reduction ranged from 294-1668 Egyptian pounds during the two seasons depending on the disease severity occurred. Finally, the possibility to predict loss % in yield components according to disease severities was illustrated and equations were concluded using the single point model.
