9 Rhizoctonia Fungus Rhizoctonia solani 13 Anastomosis groups Sugarbeet- Anastomosis groups AG 2-2 (seedling and adult) and AG 4 (seedling) AG 2-2 has intraspecific groups (ISGs) AG 2-2 IIIB and AG 2-2 IV Both ISGs cause same symptoms on sugarbeet Both occur in MN/ND (Windels, 2009)

10 AG 2-2 IV vs AG 2-2 IIIB RRV (460 cultures): AG 2-2 IV most common (66%) So. MN (504 cultures): AG 2-2 IIIB most common (56%) (Windels, 2010)

24 Seed treatments SDHI class of fungicides Single site of action (Succinate DeHydrogenase Inhibitor) Inhibit fungal respiration

25 Seed treatments Kabina 14 g (Penthiopyrad, 2014) Vibrance 1.5 g (Sedaxane, 2016) Systiva 5 g (Fluxapyroxad, 2017) Metlock Suite [Metconazole + Rizolex) + Kabina 7g (Penthiopyrad), 2014) From 2017, 100% seed is treated for Rhizoctonia and treatment depends on the seed companies choice

26 Seed treatments No. plants per 100 ft of row Non-inoculated Systiva + 15 g Stamina Met. Suite + 7 g Kabina 14 g Kabina ST 2 g Vibrance Days after planting Untreated control

27 Seed treatments No. plants per 100 ft of row Kabina 14 g Metlock Suite + Kabina 7 g Systiva 5 g Vibrance 1.5 g Untreated control Days after planting

28 Seed treatments No. plants/100 ft of row Untreated Kabina Metlock Suite + Kabina Systiva Vibrance Days after planting

29 Benefits of seed treatments Sugarbeet seedlings are very susceptible to Rhizoctonia early on Genetic resistance is not expressed until 6-8 leaf stage Effective protection of seedling (4-5 weeks) Ease of use -It comes with seed Safety No plugged nozzles

52 Benefits Postemergence fungicides If you are doing a row cultivation--throwing soil onto crowns Late season disease control (rain aug-sept) If sugarbeets are following Rhizoctonia-susceptible crops in a rotation Band application (preferred) severe disease pressure Broadcast application low disease pressure Risks Work better if applied before infection

57 Summary- Rhizoctonia Management Seed treatments provide excellent early-season protection In-furrow applications Similar to seed treatments under low disease pressure Better than seed treatments under high disease pressure May reduce stands under cool and dry soil conditions Seed/in-furrow treatments can broaden the window to apply postemergence application (4 to 8 leaf stage) Postemergence application is most beneficial under moderate to heavy disease pressure especially if beets are following soybeans or edible beans Generic formulations of azoxystrobin are effective
