Cercospora beticola  populations resistant to methyl benzimidazole carbamate (MBC), quinone outside inhibitor (QoI), and demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides have been reported in Egypt. This pathogen causes a difficult to control variant of Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) on sugar beet. We conducted field experiments over two years to investigate treatment efficacies on MBC- and QoI-resistant, but partially DMI-sensitive,  C. beticola  from a research farm in Sakha, Egypt. DMI fungicides showed moderate efficacy with half the maximal effective concentration (EC 50 ). Efficacy was 67.2–69.1% and 63.4–63.6% for epoxiconazole (EPO) and propiconazole (PRO), respectively. When each fungicide was mixed with salicylic acid (SA) at EC 50  (EPO + SA) and EC 50  (PRO +SA), efficacy was 77.5–79.1% and 77.0–78.2%, respectively. The QoI fungicide, azoxystrobin, showed lower efficacy (46.4–49.5%) when applied alone, but enhanced efficacy when combined with SA at EC 50 /EC 50  (77.0–78.2%). Carbendazim alone was only 47.5–45.1% effective, but when mixed with SA, had a 67.1% co-toxicity factor  in vitro , indicating antagonism between components. An  Artemisia cina  aqueous extract (WEA) combined with SA (WEA/SA) showed 76.0–78.2% efficacy, compared with 69.0–71.0% and 49.0–52.7% for WEA and SA, respectively. Single treatments were classified into five sensitivity classes from sensitive (&lt;1) to resistant (&gt;100) based on their EC 50  values. Significant increases in insensitivity were observed from 2015/16 to 2017/18. All treatments increased total yield, sucrose percentage, and recoverable white sugar compared with the untreated control. A combination of control strategies could allow for effective disease and fungicide resistance management.
