Integrating nemade-resistant crops into sugar beet rotations
Objectives/Performance Targets
1. Determine effectiveness of SBN-resistant trap crops in reducing SBN populations and nematicide use in several alternative sugar beet rotations and with several establishment methods.
2. Determine yield effect, cost and returns of alternative rotations in which trap crops are used in lieu of nematicides.
3. Develop an educational program to demonstrate benefits of trap crops and to encourage adoption of their use by sugar beet producers.
