Abstract
In the years 2017 and 2018 the sugar beet weevil, Bothynoderes punctiventris, was the most damaging pests of sugar beets in the Eastern parts of Austria. Applicationof synthetic insecticides against this pest did not result in sufficient control. The aim of the project is to investigate alternative and sustainable control strategies against the sugar beet weevil.
