HIGHLIGHTS
- Beet crown damage leads to the greatest losses in sugar yield
- Damaged roots are usually unsuitable for long-term storage and processing
- The problem is associated with climate change
- Scrobipalpa ocellatella is now one of the most serious threats to sugar beet

ABSTRACT
Beet moth (Scrobipalpa ocellatella) is a major pest of sugar beet crops in Europe, North
Africa and Asia. Since its first detection in Poland a few years ago S. ocellatella has spread
rapidly, causing extensive damage and is now one of the most serious threats to sugar beet.
This problem is linked to climate change, high pest fecundity, its polyvoltinism and initially
almost latent feeding. Scrobipalpa ocellatella causes crop losses directly by feeding on
plants and indirectly by creating favorable conditions for the growth of pathogens causing
rot diseases. Heavy contamination of the beet crown with larval excrement creates ideal
conditions for secondary fungal and bacterial infections. Sugar beets with severe root rot
delivered to sugar plants are in many cases unsuitable for processing.
