Obiective of the project

The improved technology of sugar beet cultivation will contribute to increasing the yield, improving its quality and safety, adapting the cultivation technology to the assumptions of the European Green Deal, as well as to withdrawing further active substances to combat beetroot tassel form use.

Description of project activities

It's planned to assess the risks of sugar beet cultivation in various regions of the country, develop guidelines for new technology, test the microbiologicalproduct on various varieties, develop guidelines fot the production of the product on an industrial scale, tests in greenhouse and in the field.

Description of the context of operations

The need to implement the operation results from the increasing percentage of sugar beet crops affected by the beet tassel the growing emphasis on environmental protection. It is necessary to find a technology for cultivation and protection of crops against disease, which will be effective and at the same time will be in line with the "Green Deal" and the From Farm to Fork strategy, the assumption of which is to reduce the use of plant protection products, reduce the use of fertilizers and increase the area of agricultural land EU funds for organic farming.

Additional comments

The results of the research conducted so far have indicated the direction of further development work; - developing an improved technology of sugar beet cultivation in various regions of the country using a microbiological preparation in field conditions, - striving to reduce physiological stress after herbicide treatments, - increasing the health of plants against beetroot tassel infection, - improvement of sugar beet cultivation technology in terms of icreasing physiological activity, stimulating vegetative growth of plants and inducing processes producing lutic enzymes limiting the development of phytopathogens.

The main benefits of the project

Practice summary on final or expected results

According to the results of the research, an element of the improved technology of sugar beet cultivation showed high effectiveness in controlling beetroot tassel in greengouse and laboratory tests. Further research on sugar beet cultivation technology with the combined use of a microbiological preparation with other herbicide active substances is recommended. The expected result will be an innovative sugar beet cultivation technology adapted to the assumptions of the "Green Deal" - reducing the use of pesticides, reducing the risk of plant residues. in addition, guidelines for farmers will be developed for the use of tehnology that will be adapted to EU requirements and the creation ofa decision support system for farmers - on the website.
