Effect of sugar beet variety resistance on the disease epidemiology of Cercospora beticola.
Article in Pest management science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCercospora leaf spot (CLS), caused by Cercospora beticola, is the most destructive foliar disease in sugar beet. CLS is conventionally controlled with fungicide, but the emergence of fungicide-resistant populations reinforces the importance of developing and cultivating resistant varieties. Understanding the dynamics of CLS in different varieties is hence essential for sustainable CLS management.
resultsField experiments (2022 and 2023) with four sugar beet varieties possessing different resistant properties were conducted to describe the relationship between the variety resistance and the disease epidemiology of C. beticola. For this purpose, spore flight and disease progression were assessed on a weekly basis. Disease severity (DS) and disease incidence (DI) were delayed in resistant varieties compared to the susceptible and moderately susceptible ones. This finding was further confirmed by a model-based analysis of DS and DI for all varieties. Weekly spore flight monitoring during the vegetation period showed a similar tendency of reduced spore quantity by the resistant varieties. This was probably due to the lower DS, as no differences were found when the amount of fungal DNA was determined in individual lesions from the different varieties. Analysis of relative yield loss further confirmed the advantage of growing resistant varieties.
conclusionOur results highlight that resistant varieties delay disease onset resulting in less severe symptoms and reduced spore flight. We also proved that aerial spore flight intensity could reflect the resistant property of each variety. These results provide a deeper insight into the interaction between variety resistance and CLS epidemiology, emphasizing variety-specific CLS management. © 2025 The Author(s).
