AB  - To address the growing demand for sugar, sugar beet production must be increased. However, conventional chemical fertilizers, essential for root growth and yield quality, are environmentally harmful due to factors like greenhouse gas emissions and organic pollution. To address this issue, we need to consider eco-friendly organic alternatives, such as FRASS, which is the residue from mealworm larval excrement. FRASS is rich in essential nutrients (ESN), including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). In our study, we aim to explore the potential of FRASS as an environmentally innovative fertilizer for sugar beet production, given the increasing popularity of mealworm farming. In a field experiment, we compared the efficacy of pre-sowing fertilization on two sugar beet varieties using three different models of two fertilizer concentrations (N:P:K 80:60:40 & N:P:K 40:30:20 ): pure mealworm FRASS, a combination of FRASS and mineral fertilizer, and pure mineral fertilizer (NPK). Our goal was to maintain the same level of ESN between NPK fertilizers and FRASS.

AB  - Continuous advancements in plant breeding and the development of new hybrid varieties are occurring alongside the challenges posed by climate change. Consequently, there is an ongoing need to reassess agricultural practices. Fertilisation, particularly with nitrogen, plays an important part in plant production. Nitrogen is a critical element required in significant quantities for optimal crop growth, influencing the yield of various crops. However, it's important to acknowledge that nitrogen is a dynamic element, and substantial nitrogen reserves cannot be retained within the soil. Given the distinct requirements of sugar beet cultivation, where nitrogen not only impacts root yield but also profoundly influences root quality, it becomes important to improve fertilisation management. Therefore in our study we focused on assessing the effects of five different nitrogen fertiliser levels (40, 80, 120, 160, and 200 kg N/ha) on root yield and quality of two commercial sugar beet hybrids.

AB  - Sugar beet is the second most important source for the sugar industry, particularly important in temperate climate zones of Central, West, and East Europe. However, its production has declined recently due to various factors of which the most important are subsidy cuts and the spread of various plant diseases. In the Pannonian Plain (Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Serbia), a disease called rubbery taproot disease (RTD) has been observed for along time. The variability in RTD symptoms and the extent of damage it causes have made its detection quite challenging, often leading to misdiagnoses as other diseases. However, the identification of Candidatus Phytoplasma solani as the cause of RTD has resolved the issue of its diagnosis. The latest outbreak in Serbia has had a significant economic impact on sugar beet production, prompting an urgent response to aid the industry and growers. In our study, conducted during the 2022 and 2023 seasons, we assessed the susceptibility/tolerance of thirty registered sugar beet hybrids in Serbia, evaluating their impact on root yield and quality in naturally infected experimental fields.

AB  - Drip irrigation is gaining importance in mitigating the consequences of water scarcity even in regions with abundant rainfall. The transition from surface to subsurface drip irrigation is accompanied by numerous problems. To overcome these issues, shallow subsurface drip irrigation can be potentially used as an effective drought control tool that brings additional benefits compared to conventional surface drip irrigation techniques. This research investigated the effects of different calculations of daily crop water requirements, reference evapotranspiration (ETo), and pan evaporation (Eo) on the yield and water use efficiency of pepper irrigated with a surface and shallow subsurface drip irrigation system. The experiment was conducted in field conditions in the Vojvodina region, the northern part of Serbia. The irrigation scheduling was based on the water balance approach. The calculated evapotranspiration rate was about 400 mm for the pepper growing period, regardless of the calculation method. The highest yield of pepper and evapotranspiration water use efficiency was obtained on the Eo variant with surface drip irrigation. However, irrigation water use efficiency showed no statistical significance concerning the calculation of evapotranspiration and irrigation type. The results indicated that both calculation methods and irrigation types can be used in pepper production, but priority should be given to pan-evaporation-based calculation.

yields. For the past 30 years, effective control of BYV relied on neonicotinoid insecticides. 
However, the European Union's ban on outdoor use of these insecticides since 2018, driven by

developing new control methods. To address this, our study investigates viral transmission 
efficiency in sugar beet plants based on aphid density, species, and morphs (winged/apterous) in 
laboratory, greenhouse, and field conditions. Laboratory experiments were based on the virus 
transmission from an infected plant to a vector and from a vector to a healthy plant, while 
greenhouse experiments observed viral transmission changes when both vector species coexisted 
on the same infected plants simultaneously (i.e. by analogy to the same patch in the fields). Field 
experiments examined whether the first flying aphids that arrived in the fields after seed 
germination were viruliferous. In the laboratory experiment, it was shown that the best vector of 
BYV at low density was the winged M. persicae with a 25% of transmission probability with 
only three aphids present. In the greenhouse experiment, a significantly higher transmission 
probability was observed when both vector species were present at the same time at the same 
patch. Collecting this data provides valuable insights into how aphid species, density, and morphs 
affect the transmission of the virus, setting a solid foundation for future studies and the discovery 
of new pest control methods
AB  - Le virus de la jaunisse grave de la betterave (BYV) a une importance économique car il 
affecte négativement les rendements de la betterave sucrière. Au cours des 30 dernières années, la 
lutte efficace contre le BYV a reposé sur les insecticides néonicotinoïdes. Cependant, 
l'interdiction par l'Union européenne de l'utilisation de ces insecticides à l'extérieur depuis 2018, 
motivée par des préoccupations relatives à la biodiversité et à la santé humaine, a entraîné des 
pertes généralisées dans l'industrie de la betterave sucrière en raison des épidémies de BYV. Les 
principaux vecteurs de ce virus sont le puceron vert du pêcher (Myzus persicae) et le puceron noir 
de la fève (Aphis fabae). La compréhension de la relation virus-vecteur est cruciale pour le 
développement de nouvelles méthodes de contrôle. Pour répondre à cette question, notre étude 
examine l'efficacité de la transmission virale dans les plants de betterave sucrière en fonction de 
la densité des pucerons, des espèces et des morphes (ailé/aptère) en laboratoire, sous serre et sur 
le terrain. Les expériences en laboratoire sont basées sur la transmission du virus d'une plante 
infectée à une plante saine via un vecteur, tandis que les expériences en serre ont permis 
d‟observer les changements de transmission virale lorsque les deux espèces de vecteurs étaient 
présentes simultanément sur les mêmes plantes infectées (par analogie au champ, dans le même 
groupe de plantes). Les expériences sur le terrain ont examiné si les premiers pucerons volants 
arrivés dans le champ, après la germination des graines, étaient virulifères. L'expérience en 
laboratoire a montré que le meilleur vecteur du BYV à faible densité était le puceron ailé de 
l‟espèce M. persicae, avec une probabilité de transmission de 25 % en présence seulement de 
trois individus. Dans l'expérience en serre, une probabilité de transmission significativement plus 
élevée a été observée lorsque les deux espèces de vecteurs étaient présentes en même temps dans 
la même parcelle. La collecte de ces données fournira des informations précieuses sur la manière 
dont les espèces, la densité et les morphes de pucerons affectent la transmission, posant ainsi des 
bases solides pour les études futures et la recherche de nouvelles méthodes de lutte contre les 
ravageurs.

only three aphids present. In the greenhouse experiment, a significantly higher transmission 
probability was observed when both vector species were present at the same time at the same 
patch. Collecting this data provides valuable insights into how aphid species, density, and morphs 
affect the transmission of the virus, setting a solid foundation for future studies and the discovery 
of new pest control methods, Le virus de la jaunisse grave de la betterave (BYV) a une importance économique car il 
affecte négativement les rendements de la betterave sucrière. Au cours des 30 dernières années, la 
lutte efficace contre le BYV a reposé sur les insecticides néonicotinoïdes. Cependant, 
l'interdiction par l'Union européenne de l'utilisation de ces insecticides à l'extérieur depuis 2018, 
motivée par des préoccupations relatives à la biodiversité et à la santé humaine, a entraîné des 
pertes généralisées dans l'industrie de la betterave sucrière en raison des épidémies de BYV. Les 
principaux vecteurs de ce virus sont le puceron vert du pêcher (Myzus persicae) et le puceron noir 
de la fève (Aphis fabae). La compréhension de la relation virus-vecteur est cruciale pour le 
développement de nouvelles méthodes de contrôle. Pour répondre à cette question, notre étude 
examine l'efficacité de la transmission virale dans les plants de betterave sucrière en fonction de 
la densité des pucerons, des espèces et des morphes (ailé/aptère) en laboratoire, sous serre et sur 
le terrain. Les expériences en laboratoire sont basées sur la transmission du virus d'une plante 
infectée à une plante saine via un vecteur, tandis que les expériences en serre ont permis 
d‟observer les changements de transmission virale lorsque les deux espèces de vecteurs étaient 
présentes simultanément sur les mêmes plantes infectées (par analogie au champ, dans le même 
groupe de plantes). Les expériences sur le terrain ont examiné si les premiers pucerons volants 
arrivés dans le champ, après la germination des graines, étaient virulifères. L'expérience en 
laboratoire a montré que le meilleur vecteur du BYV à faible densité était le puceron ailé de 
l‟espèce M. persicae, avec une probabilité de transmission de 25 % en présence seulement de 
trois individus. Dans l'expérience en serre, une probabilité de transmission significativement plus 
élevée a été observée lorsque les deux espèces de vecteurs étaient présentes en même temps dans 
la même parcelle. La collecte de ces données fournira des informations précieuses sur la manière 
dont les espèces, la densité et les morphes de pucerons affectent la transmission, posant ainsi des 
bases solides pour les études futures et la recherche de nouvelles méthodes de lutte contre les 
ravageurs.",

AB  - Traditionally, mold control usually involves usage of highly toxic compounds, and this practice must be replaced with more environmentally friendly solutions (green chemistry). In this paper, antifungal activity of five newly synthesized ionic liquids (IL) was tested, in vitro. All ionic liquids are based on N-decyl- N, N, N-trimethylammonium chloride which differs only by a single substituent on a quaternary N- atom. The antifungal activity of IL was tested on Fusarium, Aspergillus, Alternaria, Trichoderma and Penicillium strains using the microdilution method by determining the minimal inhibitory and minimal fungicidal concentrations. Selected genera are major problem in food industry since they are the primary pathogens of agronomically important plants, as well as mycotoxin producers. All five IL used in this study showed antifungal effect in the range of 0.002 mol/dm3 to 0.036 mol/dm3. The greatest antifungal activity was observed when strains were treated with (C2OH)C10DMACI and (C2OOEt)C10DMACI IL. Results obtained in this study showed that all examined ILs have the potential to be used as effective antifungal agents.

AB  - Research on economically significant pests of agricultural 
crops, such as corn, is of great importance, тhe most 
damaging insect species, when it comes to corn crops, is 
the diapausing moth Ostrinia nubilalis. Diapause is a 
hypometabolic type of rest characterized by a reduced rate 
of oxidative metabolism, synthesis of protective 
molecules, accumulation of energy reserves and 
expression of specific genes. It has been proven that 
diapausing species have a significantly higher resistance to 
insecticide treatments, so conducting research aimed at 
testing the biological response is of great importance. 
Insecticide treatment can cause oxidative stress, in 
response to which antioxidant protection enzymes, such as 
superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), are 
produced. The effect of two foliar and two seed 
insecticides was tested. One of the four insecticides is a 
bioinsecticide, while the other three are synthetic. As part 
of the experiment, it was examined whether the insecticide 
treatment leads to the occurrence of oxidative stress in the 
larvae of O. nubilalis, which will result in increased 
expression of sod and cat genes. Total RNA was isolated 
from homogenates of whole-body diapausing 5th instar 
larvae that survived the insecticide treatment. After the 
synthesis of complementary DNA, quantitative PCR 
analysis was carried out, and relative gene expression was 
calculated using the Cq values obtained using actin as the 
reference gene. It was shown that there is a statistically 
significant increase in the relative expression of both sod
and cat genes in comparison to the control group when 
applying the synthetic insecticide Phobos. The biological 
insecticide Lepinox and the synthetic insecticide Sonido 
led to a statistically significant increase in the expression 
of cat gene, while the relative expression of the gene for 
SOD was mildly decreased. When applying the insecticide 
Semaphore to seeds, there were no statistically significant 
changes in the relative expression of any of the tested 
genes compared to the control group. The results of this 
research are of a pioneer nature, as to our knowledge there 
is no data on pesticide treatment affects the expression of 
genes analysed in this study.
