Rhizomania 1 January 2016, Pages 175-193 Control of the disease (Book Chapter) Ratti, C.a , Biancardi, E.b a Area di Patologia Vegetale, Università di Bologna, Bologna, Italy b Stazione Sperimentale di Bieticoltura, Rovigo, Italy View references (106) Abstract This chapter describes the preventative systems adopted for limiting the spread and the damage caused by rhizomania. However, the area affected by the disease is still expanding, notwithstanding the quarantine measures tried in several countries. Since the first observations, the new disease has appeared unusually dangerous for the beet crop, mainly due to the easy spread and the severe effects on sugar yield. When the etiology of rhizomania was discovered, the development of genetic resistances appeared among the few options available against the disease. Because the genetic control is incomplete and it is currently being overcome by new strains of the virus in some areas, new systems of agronomic and biological control are under evaluation for potential integration with the genetic resistances and have shown some evidence of antagonistic ability in depressing the development of Polymyxa betae. A genetically modified strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens was employed for evaluating the possible effect of this organism on lowering the spread of rhizomania. Using some species belonging to the genus Trichoderma, positive results were obtained in the glasshouse. © 2016 Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
