Abstract

Approximately 100 000 tomato plants under greenhouse cultivation in New South Wales were surveyed in June 2001 for Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd). Bioassay, electrophoresis and molecular analysis confirmed the presence of PSTVd in two plants on a single property. A successful eradication plan was undertaken.
