Abstract
Artificial inoculation of sugar beet with Ramularia beticola under fie ld conditions can be conducted by the use of in vitro prepared inoculu m. The fungus is grown on PDA at 18 degrees C and diffuse daylight. A homogenate of the non sporulating cultures is sprayed at sugar beet gr owth stage 39 on the beet leaves. First symptoms occurred 14 dpi in 19 94 and 16 dpi in 1995, respectively. Disease increased due to secondar y infections. The described method might allow the screening of sugar beet for resistance to R. beticola after a controlled inoculation.
