beet protect

Microbial fertilizer product for use in sugar beet, soybean, and celery cultivation

beet protect is a microbial fertilizer product containing selected strains of Bacillus bacteria, intended for use in sugar beet, soybean, and celery crops. The product works in multiple ways: it naturally suppresses the development of pathogens, including Cercospora fungi responsible for Cercospora leaf spot in sugar beet, and supports soil and plant health. Thanks to the bacteria’s ability to colonize roots and the rhizosphere, the product enhances crop resilience, improves nutrient availability, and assists in the decomposition of post-harvest residues, reducing sources of infection. Regular use improves plant condition, increases resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, and positively affects yield and root quality.

Mechanism

Composition

Dosage

This microbial fertilizer product has been developed to protect and support sugar beet crops, as well as soybean and celery. With its unique properties, it acts both preventively and curatively, supporting plant health and enhancing soil fertility.

The microorganisms in the product quickly colonize the rhizosphere and plant surfaces, where they produce a range of beneficial metabolites. These substances effectively inhibit the development of soil-borne and foliar pathogens, including Cercospora fungi, the primary cause of Cercospora leaf spot in sugar beets. Importantly, the bacteria not only target pathogens but also support microbial balance in the soil, reducing the risk of disease recurrence and improving overall soil health.

Additionally, the microorganisms in beet protect activate plants' natural defense mechanisms by stimulating induced systemic resistance (SAR). This increases the plants’ ability to respond to biotic stresses, such as fungal infections, and abiotic stresses like drought or sudden temperature changes. The bacteria also support the development of the root system and above-ground parts by making hard-to-access nutrients available. This includes essential macro- and micronutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and silicon (Si), which are necessary for proper plant development and achieving high yields with good raw material quality.

Regular use of beet protect not only reduces disease pressure but also positively affects soil structure and the rate of post-harvest residue decomposition. This, in turn, reduces the risk of secondary infections and facilitates crop rotation management. The product is recommended for preventive use before sowing or curatively when the first signs of Cercospora leaf spot appear. Such a strategy allows full use of its biological potential and protects the crop during critical stages of plant development.

Additional information:

The product is best applied before sowing on soil and during the growing season on the plant, ideally before the first symptoms of Cercospora leaf spot appear.
