Rhizomania is a relatively new and devastating disease affecting sugar beet. Around fifty years ago, it was recognized that the pathogenic agent is the virus, later named Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV), vectored and inoculated by the soil-borne fungus Polymyxa betae. The diffusion of the di...
