RECENT APPROACHES FOR CONTROL OF NON-PERSISTENTLY TRANSMITTED APHID-BORNE VIRUSES |

| Abstract:
Decreasing spread of non-persistent viruses through vector control by insecticides is ineffective. Breeding for resistance is one of the most efficient ways for control, but progress in breeding programs is slow, and resistance depending on one gene only is often overcome by new strains of the virus. Avoidance, oil sprayings, reflective surfaces, yellow sticky traps, white nets and border crops are reviewed, as possible alternative control approaches. It is expected that these methods, singly or in combination may become of further importance, especially in high valued crops as virus-tested propagation material of flower bulbs and corms. | |
