Foreword
An unknown disease of sugar beet was detected in Italy more than 50 years ago. Soon the new syndrome displayed devastating effects on yield. This greatly concerned the Italian sugar beet growers and processors, especially considering that the syndrome had spread to the most important Italian cultivation areas. It was the start of a memorable enterprise for pathologists, breeders, and agronomists. The spontaneous and unusual synergy created among the universities, research stations, seed companies, and grower associations led not only at the first very appropriate attempts of prophylaxis measures but also to an awareness that the only possible management would be through the use of resistant varieties. In this phase, the Beta maritima germplasm selected at Rovigo and later at Salinas began to display its value against the new disease called “rizomania.” Some resistant varieties were released, thanks to enhanced knowledge of the pathogenic agents (beet necrotic yellow vei
