Key pests to watch out for

SEE ALL PESTS

Beet Rust

Favoured in cool and wet seasons, Beet rust (Uromyces beticola) is commonly seen in beet crops. Characteristic symptoms are raised red pustules on leaves. Severe infestations can lead to leaf loss and reduce yields.

Cercospora

Favoured by wet and humid seasons, Cercospora leaf spot (Cercospora beticola) is the most economically damaging disease of beet crops. Epidemics can cause the complete loss of crop leaves and dramatically reduce yields.

Carpophilus Beetle

Carpophilus beetles (also known as dried fruit beetles) are a pest in fruits, nuts and grains. They attack a wide variety of hosts including almonds, cherries and other stonefruit.
