Virus yellows
The IIRB Virus yellows project group was established in 2018 to discuss alternatives to pest control and a prevention of the spread of virus yellows after the ban of neonicitinoids in several European countries and the limited availability via derogations in other countries. Neonicotinoids helped to prevent damage of sugar beets by soil pests and reduced aphid populations. Aphids, mainly Myzus persicae, are responsible for the spread of virus diseases in sugar beet.
NEXT MEETING
The next meeting will be held 11th November 2024 online.

Virus Yellows Monograph
A synopsis of the research carried out on beet yellowing viruses and their vectors in Europe was edited by the IIRB in 1988. A copy of the document can be made available on demand.
