Abstract
The flea beetle (Chaetocnema tibialis Illig.) is an economically important pest of young sugarbeets in the spring. Efficiency of insecticide treatment of sugar beet seed in the control of natural population of the pest was studied in 1999 and 2000 in two locations (Kraljevci and Rimski Sancevi). The study included the following insecticides: Cruiser 350 FS, Gaucho 600 FS, Prestige 290 FS, Furadan ST 35. A granulated insecticide Counter G-5 was applied in bands during sugar beet planting. Following conclusion may be drawn on the basis of the obtained results. 1. Seed treatment reduced the percentage of damaged plants from 85.5% to 96.2%. The number of holes on leaves decreased accordingly, as compared with the control. 2. Under conditions of high population of flea beetles, undamaged plants were registered only in the treatments with Cruiser 350 FS and Gaucho 600 FS. Heavily damaged plants, with more than 50 holes per plant, were registered in the treatment with Counter G-5 (85.0%). The percentages of heavily damaged plants following seed treatment with insecticides ranged from 4.1% (Gaucho 600 FS) to 35.2% (Furadan ST 35). 3. Intensity of plant damage was proportionately reflected on plant mass. Measured 45 days after planting, plant mass from seed treated with Gaucho 600 FS and Cruiser 350 FS was about 80% higher than the mass of control plants. The treatment with Counter G-5 increased plant mass by only 2.3% compared with the control. 4. Seed treatment with insecticides increased the yield of roots, sugar content and the yield of crystal sugar. The respective increases in relation to the control were 5.9-15.2%, 1.0-6.2% and 11.9-21.6%. The preparations Cruiser 350 FS, Gaucho 600 FS and Furadan ST 35 were distinguished for their efficiency. 5. Seed treatment with systemic insecticides provides maximum protection of young sugar beets in the spring, providing that the pest population size is moderate. A wider introduction of this pest control method would make sugar beet protection more cost effective and ecologically more acceptable.
