| Abstract:
Raspberry cultivars and selections at Puyallup, Washington and Abbotsford, British Columbia (B.C.) were surveyed for the presence of sap transmissible viruses as were a number of commercial red raspberry plantings in Washington and B.C. Of the 48 clones at Puyallup that were indexed, 11 were infected with sap transmissible viruses. Three viruses were isolated and identified: raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV), tobacco streak virus (TSV) and black raspberry necrosis virus (BRNV). The clones at Abbotsford included cultivars and selections infected with the above three viruses and, in addition, tomato ringspot virus (TomRSV). In a survey of commercial plantings, RBDV, TSV and TomRSV were detected in one or more fields in Washington. RBDV was not detected in commercial plantings in B.C. but one planting with TSV and another with TomRSV was detected. Another virus, as yet unidentified, was detected in commercial plantings in both Washington and B.C. | |
