Dear All,

I am currently studying in my final year at Harper Adams University. For my HRP (Honours Research Project)/dissertation I am focusing on 'Alternative Strategies use to Control Virus Yellows in the Absence of Neonicotinoids'.
Due to COVID we were encouraged to build surveys as our data collection method.

The aim of the research is to evaluate the any alternative ways of controlling virus yellows in sugar beet whilst Neonicotinoids remain banned in the UK, in order to maintain yields in the crop.

Please only complete the survey if you are involved in the UK sugar beet industry e.g. grower, agronomist, contractor ect.
Please feel free to share the link to anyone as the more replies the better!

The aim of the questionnaire is to find out how yields have been effected, if people will be growing beet again and your past and present ways of controlling Virus Yellows in your sugar beet crop, both cultural and chemical controls.[/QUOTE]
