Interpretive Summary: Sugarbeet Rhizomania is a serious disease in many growing regions of the world that effects beet yield. Rhizomania disease of sugarbeet was first detected in growing regions of Minnesota and North Dakota in the mid 1990's prompting concern about the future impact of this disease on the industry. The Glyndon MN research site for Rhizomania studies consists of 80 acres previously confirmed for the presence of the virus causing Rhizomania. Determination of the spatial distribution of this virus across the research site would produce data that could be used by other investigators as they evaluate the performance of varieties and/or treatments tested at the location. This study reports the second year testing of sugarbeet acres planted at the site in 2004 for presence of this virus.

Technical Abstract: Sugarbeet Rhizomania is a serious disease in many growing regions of the world that effects root growth and morphology and beet yield. Rhizomania disease of sugarbeet was first detected in growing regions of Minnesota and North Dakota in the mid 1990's prompting concern about the future impact of this disease on the industry. The Glyndon MN research site for Rhizomania studies consists of 80 acres previously confirmed for the presence of BNYVV. Determination of the spatial distribution of BNYVV and related viruses across the research would produced data that could be used by other investigators as they evaluate the performance of varieties and/or treatments tested at the location. This study reports the second year testing of sugarbeet acres planted at the site in 2004 using enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay(ELISA).
