Protecting beetroot – without chemicals

For beetroot we recommend PATRIK UVH with mist: UVH light and a very fine mist against fungal diseases and spider mites – without chemicals and with no residues.

PATRIK UVH with mist

In vegetable growing, pests sit on top of and underneath the leaves. Unlike in fruit and berry growing, a spray mist of specially developed water can be added to the UVH. On the leaves its droplets behave like crystals: combined with the light, they multiply the light beam, so we can also reach places the UVH alone cannot get to.

Our devices can be used against these pests and diseases

  • Black bean aphid Aphis fabae

    Dense black colonies on shoot tips and leaf stalks. The leaves curl and growth stops.

  • Powdery mildew Erysiphe betae

    White, powdery coating on the leaves, first on the older ones. The leaves turn yellow and die early, the roots stay smaller. Warm, dry weather in late summer favours it.
