n° 103 - december 2025 - Protecting sugar beets without neonicotinoids

In 2023, FranceAgriMer launched a call for projects aimed at gathering proposals for combating beet yellows, submitted by consortia made up of research and transfer stakeholders, as part of the ongoing National Research and Innovation Plan (PNRI) to combat beet yellows. This Plan aims to find solutions to protect sugar beet crops following the withdrawal of neonicotinoids. Thanks to the joint work of fundamental and applied research, possibilities are emerging, both through prophylaxis and the identification of new curative levers. These levers, combined with each other, could limit the impact of yellowing on beets. From the identification of vector reservoirs to tested biocontrol solutions and the quantification of their benefits and limitations, this issue of the journal outlines the steps needed to ensure satisfactory and sustainable production following the withdrawal of neonicotinoids, thereby ensuring the long-term viability of this industrial sector.
