Viral Diseases and Their Management

Sustainable Crop Protection under Protected Cultivation

Abstract

Viruses are very small, submicroscopic particles that cause plant disease. There is no control for plants infected with a virus. Some of the more common viruses that may infect greenhouse crops include (but are not limited to): impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) and tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) which are also known as tospoviruses, cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Viruses can be transmitted by insects, primarily aphids, thrips, and whiteflies. Major virus diseases are transmitted by aphids, whiteflies, thrips, beetles, and fungi and mechanically. Management of viral diseases using production of virus-free vegetables by using insect-proof nets, integrated management, and GAP recommendations are discussed.
