Protecting Sugar Beets From Root Maggots Says Entomologist
C E Lilly notes growers must decide before planting whether to treat for root maggots. In western Canada maggot populations rise on light soils since 1968, with adult flies emerging late May to attack young beets. Early planting and in furrow insecticides like Carbofuran at recommended rates, used with Roneet Avadex, show good control. Once infested, control is too late. Continuous monitoring via untreated strips helps avoid unnecessary insecticide use and resistance risks, emphasizing early seeding, fertilization, irrigation, and natural controls with insecticides reserved for critical years.
