How to Manage Pests

UC Pest Management Guidelines

Occasionally aphids, particularly winged forms, of the above species may be found in sugarbeet. With the exception of potato aphid, they rarely, if ever, colonize sugarbeet. Control is rarely required when these species are present. Some of these species are known to vector Beet yellows virus and Beet mosaic virus, but their exact role is not thoroughly known.
