Sugar beet, an important sugar crop utilized for the production of beet sugar, fulfills the world's sugar demands to about 25%, accompanying cane sugar. The production of sugar beet encounters significant challenges attributed to devastating diseases that result in a decreased crop yield. Disease-resistant varieties are key to mitigating productivity losses traditionally developed through conventional breeding. However, the advent of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing has accelerated the creation of resistant sugar beet varieties by enabling precise genetic modifications. This advanced technology offers an effective approach to combat bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens, leading to the development of sugar beet varieties with varying degrees of resistance. The paper elucidates the revolutionary impact of CRISPR/Cas9 on sugar beet, revealing essential regulators of disease resistance and providing insights into interactions with pathogens and the sugar beet microbiome. The integration of CRISPR/Cas9 with other techniques opens novel avenues for understanding and developing disease-resistant sugar beet varieties, marking a significant advancement in the field.

“…In the face of the numerous pathogens that threaten this plant, including Cercospora leaf spot (Cercospora beticola), Ramularia leaf spot (Ramularia beticola), and beet powdery mildew (Erysiphe betae), plant protection is an important agricultural technology [4,5]. Integrated pest management is currently the preferred method for maintaining the phytosanitary condition of agrocenosis, and although it ascribes a dominant role to breeding and agrotechnical treatments [6][7][8][9], it still holds an important place for chemical crop protection products, including fungicides [10][11][12]. However, the use of fungicides should be preceded by an assessment of the risk of plant infection or the presence and harmfulness of the pathogen [13,14].…”

Despite the major role of non-chemical treatments in integrated plant protection, fungicides often need to be applied as a crop protection treatment in sugar beet farming. They should be used based on a good understanding of the requirements and effectiveness of the active ingredients. In 11-year field experiments, the effect that one and three foliar applications of fungicides containing various active ingredients (triazoles, benzimidazoles, strobilurines) had on sugar beet root yields was assessed, depending on various thermal and rainfall conditions. It was found that in eight of the 11 years, foliar application of fungicides increased yields compared to unprotected plants, and three foliar treatments during the growing season were more effective than a single application. The negative correlation of the root yield of fungicidally protected plants with total June rainfall was weaker than the same relationship for unprotected plants. At the same time, the positive correlation between the yield of fungicidally protected sugar beets and average June air temperature was stronger than the same relationship for unprotected plants. The research results indicate the need to conduct long-term field experiments and to continuously improve integrated production principles for sugar beet, especially regarding the rational use of pesticides.
