The sugar beet field stations provide practical insights into how the planthopper Pentastiridius leporinus affects yield, quality, and secondary infections — and highlight integrated measures that can sustainably reduce infestation pressure.​

1. PRACTICAL APPROACHES IN THE FIELD  ·  KUMBIT

Which measures can farms implement specifically to reduce planthopper pressure? This station presents practice-oriented approaches to crop rotation and cover crops. Various crops such as maize, soybean, millet, and oilseed radish are compared with regard to their effect. 

2. AGRO REEL SYSTEM   ·  BSE YMOND BV

The demonstration of mechanical net covering in potatoes shows how nets can in future be laid out and collected again in a time-saving, efficient and crop-friendly way. You will see directly in the field how modern technology can support crop 

protection.

3. VARIETY TRIALS: VARIETY SELECTION REMAINS A KEY MANAGEMENT TOOL ·  ARGE

Variety choice is a central component in dealing with

SBR. Recent developments in SBR-tolerant, healthy-

foliage, and high-performing sugar beet varieties

will be shown. You will receive a compact overview

of new genotypes, performance differences and the

importance of choosing the right variety.

​

4. YIELD AND SECONDARY INFECTIONS IN FOCUS  ·   KUMBIT

How strongly does SBR influence yield, quality and profitability? Infestation-free and infected stands are compared directly. Net cages make visible what differences even a few planthoppers can cause. In addition, the role of secondary infections such as rhizomania and Cercospora is classified.

5. EffectorSelect  ·  IFZ Göttingen

Experience current cutting-edge research: The station shows how effectors of SBR pathogens are identified in order to select tolerant sugar beet varieties more specifically. Field trials, net inspections and molecular analyses demonstrate how research supports concrete progress in breeding.

​

6. Monitoring & Role of Official  Advisory Services ·

 DLR; RP Gießen & Pfeifer & Langen

This station shows the role official advisory services play in monitoring the planthopper and in assessing the regional infestation situation.

​

7. INSECTICIDES & MODEL REGION  ·  Südzucker & Kuratorium für Versuchs-wesen & Beratung im Zuckerrübenanbau

Current trial approaches for planthopper control are placed in the context of the model region. The focus is on experiences, regional observations and the question of which strategies can support practice in the future.

.

The potato section provides practical insights into how Bacterial Potato Tuber Wilt (BPW) can affect yield, quality, and end use. The focus is on issues relevant to farming practice and processing: How can crops be protected, quality losses avoided, and yields stabilised? Multi-year field trials, variety comparisons, as well as netted and open-field trials provide a concise overview of current findings and potential strategies for table potatoes, processing potatoes, and seed potatoes.

1. PLANTHOPPER MANAGEMENT IN SMALL-PLOT TRIALS 

 ·  KARTOZIK

KARTOZIK demonstrates in a practice-oriented way how varietal differences in table and processing potatoes are studied under field conditions. The focus is on small-plot trials, modern trial technologies, and the question of how Bacterial Potato Tuber Wilt affects processing properties. Key quality characteristics are demonstrated and classified.

​

2. THREE-YEAR FIELD TRIALS  ·  SIKAZIKA & KUMBIT

How do different planthopper intensities affect the yield and quality of potatoes? Based on multi-year trial results, flight patterns from 2023 to 2025 as well as gross and net yields of six table potato varieties will be presented. In addition, HOWITEC provides insight into the net cages used to specifically investigate infestation intensities.

​

3. APPROACHES TO REDUCING BPW IN THE FIELD STAND  · TH Bingen

TH Bingen presents practice-oriented measures to reduce bacterial potato tuber wilt in field crops. Mulching methods, biostimulants, undersown crops between the rows and crop rotation trials in potatoes will be discussed. Here you will learn which cultivation measures have potential to make stands more resilient and reduce infestation pressure.

​

4. EFFECTS OF BPW ON WARE AND SEED POTATOES · Agrarservice Hessen-Pfalz GmbH

The effects of bacterial potato tuber wilt on potatoes are diverse and vary in importance depending on their intended use. In table potatoes, depending on the variety, increased problems occur with yield and internal quality. The infection also affects the growth and yield

potential of seed potatoes, which can be problematic in seed production or farm-saved seed potatoes.

5. BIOSTIMULANTS & FUTURE MITIGATION APPROACHES 

Initial approaches with biostimulants will be presented and placed in the context of future strategies. The aim is to discuss possible components for stabilizing crop stands and to show new ways of dealing with bacterial potato tuber wilt and planthopper infestation. You will gain an early insight into new approaches that could become part of integrated management in the future.

​

6. DETECTION OF BACTERIAL VEGETABLE WILT & VECTOR MONITORING  ·  Bioland e.V. / LTZ Augustenberg

Gain practice-oriented insights into the spread of bacterial vegetable wilt and current findings on the occurrence of potential vectors in vegetable production. Damage and symptoms in various crops will be presented, as well as initial approaches to better classify and reduce infestation pressure and disease risks in the future.
