“…Historically, it was in sugar beet cultivation that chemical methods for pathogen and pest control [3,4], as well as seed treatment and seed coating [5], began to be used earlier than in other plant species, and monogerm varieties were developed [6]. In addition, there have been successes in resistance breeding, especially against cercospora leaf spot [7] and rhizomania [8].…”

In the period of 2016–2018, two series of field studies on organic sugar beet growing (Beta vulgaris L.) were carried out in northern Poland on Luvisol loamy soil (medium–heavy) soil in Bałcyny and Płonne. The aim of this study was to decrease the yield gap between organic and conventional beets. Factors to increase the yield of organic beet were differentiated fertilization (cattle farmyard manure (FYM), compost, and Bioilsa) and choice of varieties (Eliska, Jampol, and Sobieski). The reference point was the conventional cultivation of the same sugar beet varieties, fertilized with manure and NPK mineral fertilizers, the prevailing standard of sugar beet cultivation in Poland. High sugar beet root yields exceeding the average yield in Poland by 25–30% were obtained in both studies, both in conventional and organic cultivation. Higher root and white sugar yields were obtained in the study conducted at Płonne (with similar soil conditions to those at Bałcyny), but they were characterized by higher temperatures during the growing season. The lowest root yields in both experiments were obtained by fertilizing the organic beet with compost (66.1 t per ha in Bałcyny and 78.13 t per ha in Płonne), which were 10.8% and 8.5% lower than the conventional crop, respectively. Higher root yields in organic cultivation were obtained by fertilizing the sugar beet with FYM, which reduced the differences from conventional beet to 7.7% in the study in Bałcyny and 2.1% in the study in Płonne. Thus, the results showed no need to convert cattle FYM to compost. The highest root yields in organic cultivation were obtained by fertilizing the sugar beet with Bioilsa N 12.5 supplemented with mineral fertilization of K, Mg, and S (Patentkali). This fertilization provided a yield of 78.1 t of roots per ha in Bałcyny, which is a reduction in the yield gap to 1.4%, a statistically insignificant value. Moreover, in the study at Płonne, organic sugar beet fertilized with Bioilsa and Patentkali yielded 86.7 t of roots per ha, compared to 85.6 t per ha of conventional beet, so a yield gap was not seen here. The choice of varieties was also of great importance for root and pure sugar yields in both farming systems. The lowest yields were obtained from the Eliska variety, and at Bałcyny, a change of beet cultivar to Jampol increased the organic root yield from 68.8 t per ha to 76.0 t per ha, while reducing the yield gap from 10.1% to 2.2%. At Płonne, replacing the Eliska variety with Jampol reduced the yield gap between organic and conventional roots from 6.6% to 0.3%.

“…2 With the growing interest in bioethanol production as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels in transportation, extensive research efforts have focused on harnessing the crop's potential for biofuel and biogas production. 3 The sugar beet crop faces a multitude of threats from various pathogenic agents, including viruses, fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and insects. 4 These threats often render the cultivation of sugar beet unprofitable, as they lead to reduced root tonnage and sugar content.…”

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.

“…Unlike sugarcane, sugar beet has a relatively short growth period, with its mature tap root containing sucrose (15-20%), water (75-76%), non-sugars (2.6%), and pulp (4-6%) [4,5]. Beyond sugar extraction, both the foliage and beet pulp find utility as cattle feed [6]. More recently, sugar beet has gained prominence as a crucial resource for ethanol production as a biofuel [7].…”

Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) constitutes an initial defense approach in plants during pathogen infection. Here, the effects of the two micronutrients, namely, zinc (Zn) and boron (B), on enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant properties, as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in leaves and roots challenged with Athelia rolfsii, which cause root rot disease, were investigated. The findings revealed that Zn and B application to the potting soil alleviated the adverse effect of A. rolfsii on sugar beet plants and increased the chlorophyll content in leaves. The increased enzymatic antioxidant activities such as catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and non-enzymatic antioxidants such as ascorbic acid (AsA) were observed in Zn applied plants compared to both uninoculated and inoculated control plants. A significant rise in CAT activity was noted in both leaves (335.1%) and roots (264.82%) due to the Zn2B1.5 + Ar treatment, in comparison to the inoculated control plants. On the other hand, B did not enhance the activity of any one of them except AsA. Meanwhile, A. rolfsii infection led to the increased accumulation of MDA content both in the leaves and roots of sugar beet plants. Interestingly, reduced MDA content was recorded in leaves and roots treated with both Zn and B. The results of this study demonstrate that both Zn and B played a vital role in A. rofsii tolerance in sugar beet, while Zn enhances antioxidant enzyme activities, B appeared to have a less pronounced effect on modulating the antioxidant system to alleviate the adverse effect of A. rolfsii.
