Research on insect pests of sugar beet culture from northen Moldova

Abstract

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L., saccharifera variation) is an intensive, profitable crop, which efficiently harnesses water and fertilizers. It is used as a raw material in the sugar industry from the processing of sweet rhizocarps to obtain sugar, molasses and other secondary products, strictly necessary for the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and zootechnical industries. The capitalizing of this crop using intensive agriculture and on large areas in the last decade, significantly aggravated the state of agrocenoses and led to the accumulation of harmful insects, which annually invades the lands planted with sugar beet and causes serious damage to plants frequently and abundantly throughout the vegetation period
