Strausbaugh, C. A., Wenninger, E. J., and Eujayl, I. A. 2014. Control of curly top in sugar beet with seed and foliar insecticides. Plant Dis. 98:10751080. Curly top in sugar beet is a serious problem that is caused by Beet curly top virus and other closely related species and transmitted by the beet leafhopper. In order to find a means of reducing curly top in sugar beet, 15 combinations of in...

ABSTRACT A random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker directly linked (0.0 cM) with a resistance gene was identified in a snap bean recombinant inbred population (Moncayo x Primo) consisting of 94 F(5:7) recombinant inbred lines that had uniform segregation for disease reaction to Beet curly top virus (BCTV) across three field locations. Resistance was conditioned by a single dominant allel...

Beet curly top virus (BCTV), genus Curtovirus, and other closely related curtoviruses transmitted by the beet leafhopper Circulifer tenellus (Baker) have caused significant problems to irrigated agriculture in the western United States for over a century (4). BCTV is known to infect a broad range of crop and weed hosts in many plant families (1). The leafhopper vector also feeds and breeds on a...

in order to study the effects of planting date and sugar beet cultivars on infection to curly top virus, vector population, damping off, root rot, and sugar yield, an experiment was conducted in mobarakeh region during 1999-2000 in a split plot design. the main factor was three planting dates and sub factor was six sugar beet cultivars: ic1 as a susceptible cultivar to beet curly top, t41r, 723...
